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.

Re-booting system works for me, temporarily. Also, I suspect the issue is related to Skype as mentioned in an earlier post. Open skype, menu "call", "audio settings", un-check "adjust speakers..."
I figured out the problem on my computer. It is caused by a mouse that is plugged in to the computer via a usb port.
The mouse I had trouble with was a Logitech model.
By changing to Microsoft mouse it resolved the problem.
Good Luck to all.
Spot on...I had the same problem in Windows 7...which was progressively getting worse as it was beginning to affect anything that used a graphic slider control..tried Restoring etc...nothing worked....I too was using a Logitech mouse for my Lenovo Laptop...In my case the mouse was an M505...I replaced the mouse temporarily with an older USB wired mouse (Belkin) I had saved for a rainy day...as a backup...Shut down and restarted my computer so it could see the mouse device (which is doing the POST test...Power On Self Test)...and Voila! Problem resolved...Thank God and nk123_123...Bless you friend!!! PS...Need to buy a new optical mouse...lol...3 years is a pretty long time for a mouse...especially as much as I use mine...Wish all here success. Have a blessed day...God is sooo good!
