I usually have my laptop's system volume at 80% and plugged into speakers which I can adjust, but since updating to windows 8.1 I keep noticing that every time I turn my laptop on while plugged into the speakers it automatically lowers and limits my volume to about 40% and when I try to turn it up a large banner warns me that any higher might be unsafe for my ears asking am I sure I want to do this.
It's very annoying to get this every day, and I can't seem to find a way to disable the warning permanently.

I don't have this warning on any of my devices (Sony Vaio all-in-one PC, Dell Venue Pro 8 tablet, or Surface 2), so my guess is it is specific to a brand of audio driver. Can I have you guys post back your audio card name (from Device Manager, press Win+X to get there) and let's see if there are any commonalities?
Rolling back to an older driver worked for me until some time this week when youtube started making horrible screeching noises at which point I finally had to update the driver. Oh well I should have guessed MS would not fix this... :/
Well if you fix it, let us know how to fix ours too! It's so annoying every day and I can't believe we haven't found an answer to this yet!
It is unlikely that either Microsoft or any hardware maker is going to issue a "fix" for legal and safety reasons. The odds are that the warning could be disabled by editing the Registry but you do this at your own risk.
Any update? This shouldn't be hard to disable.
