If you experience the subject condition, your sound driver may have improperly set the Enable HW Volume Control Value Name to a data value of zero at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318\}\0000.
If your data value is zero, run the following HWVOL.BAT file to set it to one:
@echo off setlocal set key=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318\}\0000 @echo Retrieve "Enable HW Volume Control" for /f "Skip=3 Tokens=5" %%i in ('reg QUERY %key% /v "Enable HW Volume Control"') do set type=%%i If "%type%" EQU "REG_BINARY" goto HWVOL1B If "%type%" EQU "REG_DWORD" goto HWVOL1D @echo Not found or bad data type. goto :FINISH :HWVOL1D @echo Set REG_DWORD reg ADD %key% /v "Enable HW Volume Control" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f goto :FINISH :HWVOL1B @echo Set REG_BINARY reg ADD %key% /v "Enable HW Volume Control" /t REG_BINARY /d 01 /f :FINISH endlocalNOTE: You must restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
