Hi 1337forum user,

Yes this is annoying especially if you have not changed any settings. I suggest you right click on your volume control near the clock, then check all your settings when it opens, then click on Options>properties and see that all four items are enabled and that your mixer device is set correctly. In my case it is set on USB AUDIO. I am running Windows XP/SP2.

kind regards,
