hi, I just had the same problem, my computer either moved the volume automaticaly all the way up or down, but never let me do the adjustments.
My computer does have a realtek audio card but that wasn't the problem. The solution for me was to uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. The keyboard was installed automaticaly on reboot and it all worked perfectly.
Hope this helps.
Hi Vaibahav5555,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers.
We would like to get a better understanding of this issue so we can better assist not only you but other users with similar problems as well.
Uninstall realtek manager and check if the problem is resolved.
Check for any other software that is running and set to 'mute'. The slider only displays the status of the volume mixer device, and the device itself is shared between all the programs - if any of them changes the volume, others should move their sliders accordingly. If one program keeps muting the volume, setting it in another won't help.
Also check whether (if you have a laptop or a multimedia keyboard) the 'volume down' key is stuck.
Hope this information is helpful.
Thank you and Regards.

Sollution to Sound slider falling. Tried everything, including the "do nothing" instruction in the communications tab and also installing and uninstalling sound drivers.....Am sure its a google fault with 64 bit windows and continues to occassionally plague me! Switching off the keyboard lights and certain basic functions. But I find by pressing the number 7 key (sometimes 8 or 9 lol don't ask me why) but this slows the slider from falling on the pop up sound icon bottom right on desktop, and after doing this a few times it gives up sliding down and you can drag it to the top again and it'll stay there. If the slider is up and there is still no sound, then left click on the pop up sound icon at the bottom right and again left click on the word mixer....this brings up all the sound equalizers and the one for google will be off. Drag it back up and you should have sound again! However, this does'nt solve the issue, and it'll probably return, but does save restarting your PC. Hope this helps.
I have tried this method and it doesn't work. I also can't seem to find any other way to see if my programs have the volume muted. I turn it up, and it just slides right back down and then the mute light goes on and turns off. either way it's a constant battle... 98% of driver update programs force you to pay for them and for someone like me that's on a fixed income, I just can't be throwing money out the window left and right that claim to update the programs and drivers or you only get a year subscription that runs out and then jack up the price. I have my volume increased louder by double checking the settings in each of the categories, yet I fail to keep the volume indicator from going down to 0 and eventually muting. Install and reinstall of the soft ware don't work either. it just reinitiates the issue. if this keeps up, it's to the store to replace my external hard drive and pull out the last resort of operating system installation.
if anyone has any ideas that haven't been mentioned here and that actually work let me know. thanks
I had the same problem, tried all of the answers on here plus many more. Eventually I just did a System Restore to a point the day before it started happening, and now everything is fine. If you are going to do this, to be safe I would backup any work you have done to an external drive. System Restore can be found by going to the Start menu and typing 'System Restore'.
