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.

    I have the Gigabyte 770 MB, which has the Realtek Manager as well.  This was driving me crazy, but here's what worked for me!

    Run the Realtek HD Audio Manager.  On the right is a little folder icon right above the word "ANALOG" which has the Back Panel ports underneath it.  This is the Connector Settings icon.  Click it, and check the box that says "Disable front panel jack detection."

    That's what did it for me.  And this was after taking stuff out of startup, ending processes, the works, and it turned out to be THAT simple.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the information,but this option which reads Do nothing has already been selected. We have a RealTek manager which is again related to the sound card on the computer. Shall i uninstall it or just leave that. Please reply if you find anything else on this issue.

    Realtek is reported as having problems on Win 7. You will have to keep checking their site for improvments.
