Volume slider automatically adjusts to ZERO!

This has got to be the wieredest problem I have ever heard of.

I did a clean install of vista home basic and everything is fine but I have
one really odd problem with the sound volume.

The sound slider is automatically set to zero, and the only way that I can
hear sound is by moving the volume slider up and holding it in place. If I
let go of the slider (release the mouse button), the volume immediately
slides all the way back down to zero by itself.!?

So wierd. I don't think it is driver related as I have tried updating,
reinstalling windows drivers and motherboard drivers for the sound. No
matter the driver, the problem with the sound remaining at zero unless
manually raised and held in place persists.

MS tech support couldn't figgure it out after a few hours on the phone even.

Has anyone else ever even heard of this kind of problem?

You sure?

That posting was done over three years ago. It's doubtful your system is
the same (motherboard chipset and audio device are most likely different)
and even more doubtful the original poster of this conversation is
monitoring the post now.

How about you give details on your problem and your system?

Start button --> RUN --> type in:
(No "RUN", press the WindowsKey+R at the same time.)
winver
--> Click OK.

That will give you (picture at top) the full name of the operating system.
That will give you (in the test) the Service Pack you have installed.

Did you recently install (cleanly) your Operating System?

Did you download/install the latest hardware device drivers either from the
individual support web pages of each hardware device and/or the third tier
manufacturer's web page for your particular make/model of computer?

What AntiVirus you have installed?

What you have tried in order to fix this issue yourself?

Windows Vista Home Premium, service pack2 build 6002, x64based PC, The
volume slider is down to zero. Do you know how to set it or not? Latest
drivers installed according to Microsoft. Anything else you need to
know? It happened 3 years ago to that guy, and it is still happening
today!! I don't care if he is monitoring his post, I was hoping someone
with knowledge would be able to help.
