James, thanks for the suggestion, but Desktop Stereo Speakers was in fact already selected.

To change this to the correct setting (which is usually desktop | stereo speakers), do the following: | Go to control panel. | Select Sounds and Audio Devices. | Press shift+tab until you reach the "Advanced" button. Note: It is important | that you press shift+tab as aposed to tab on its own, as pressing just the | tab will take you to the wrong button. | Hit enter or space on the advanced button once you've found it, make the | adjustments and then hit the ok button. Tab to ok in the Sounds and Audio | Devices dialog, then close control panle. Hopefully, your problem will be | sorted. | | Darran Ross wrote: | | ||| Hi List. ||| ||| I'm having a strange audio problem at the moment, whereby my volume ||| level will suddenly drop away and then return to its previous level. ||| It doesn't always return right away though, sometimes I have to wait ||| for minutes at a time for it to jump back up to where it was. ||| ||| As I'm writing now, it has done this very thing - returned to normal ||| only to fall away again!
