Studio 15 Volume Increase

Question

I am hoping someone can help me with a slight problem with my Studio 15 Laptop which I have Vista Home Premium installed.

Most time when I boot up the volume automically increases to 100%. Despite efforts to bring bring it down to at least 50 it still keeps raising to 100%. The irritating blue volume status symbol keeps coming up on my screen and now I can't even open the volume mixer at all to lower the volume.

Any suggestions will be welcome! I'm at my wits end here :emotion-7:

Thanks all.

Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:     All I can suggest for now, is downloading/reinstalling the latest audio drivers off the Dell website?

This is a common and known problem with ALL Dell Studio 15 and 17 laptops. It is NOT a driver, Operating system, battery, hinge cover, or software problem. It is also not a cable connector problem. If Dell tells you to try any of these, just say yes but it doesn't work. The problem is with the design of the buttons and/or the firmware/BIOS. Dell refuses to acknowledge the actual problem or offer a permanent solution. I keep forgetting to check the volume and music BLARES in the middle of the night or early in the morning when I boot it up.

There is a Firmware update on the Dell support site that will resolve this problem. I do not have the link but try google

The touch controls on my Studio 1537 have worked perfectly since installing the update and I had all the same problems as others prior to the new firmware install.

I did a search and this site claims to have solved it by deleting the driver for sound. I just did it but cannot test til the AM.
