Here's the other side of hte issue. Sometimes I use old and perhaps broken = earphones or use a speaker/headphone with a very low volume. At these = times, I have benefited from the press for max volume in order to tell = quickly whether the output device is working. Terrie Mary T.

I quite agree. I mentioned this here once before. I'm happy with the improvements they've made but really would like to see that feature removed. It can be very painful verses little significant =3D benefit. I've never had occasion to need instant max volume.
