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 came across this forum trying to find out how to turn the setting off myself, but i thought i should state that this is not a default setting in windows. This is a setting created by the manufacturer especially in Samsung devices in both their phones and computers. The Samsung representative i work with also agrees that it is an annoying setting that does not have an easy turn off option.
Thanks for saving me the time to write that. Perfectly stated.
Please Microsoft. Get on the ball.

Great solution. I prefer to use, "Realtek_Audio_V6016699_Win8" drivers. This older Realtek OEM driver set seems to work well with no banner and no volume decrease. Still available on the net, just not from Realtek. Using drivers obtained from non OEM sources could be laced. Be careful. The biggest drawback for me is the lack of functions not available in the windows drivers for the Realtek Audio devices. I miss the "EQ" the most. As it turns out, it's not Realtek, or Microsoft alone. Only certain computers (and devices) do it. I have a Samsucks that used to do it. No wonder they got out of the laptop game. Microsoft, computer builders, and Realtek are all to blame. Some builders need it to conform to some dumb euro law, yet they still implement this banner for no good reason on devices sold in the U.S.A. Microsoft made the banner possible, builders demanded it, and Realtek said yes sirs. I have been using the older 6016699 driver for a few months now. Audio works well, I have my EQ, and I never see the banner. This only came after months of frustration. Even thoughts of a youtube video involving a laptop and sledgehammer.
good luck
