How can I disable the unsafe volume warning?

Anonymous

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.

    EXACTLY !

    I was afraid to uninstall REALTEK

    as I had problems in the past!

    In this case there were two different realtek

    items I found to be removed.

    After doing the last of the two,

    it restarted on it`s own...

    It was searching it appeared, upon reloading

    the computer, for new drivers or something.

    I JUST tested out my radio - which to my 

    great relief worked! - 

    and tested it by raising the volume 

    dramatically....

    IT WORKED.

    I just cancelled the searches it seemed to be doing.

    Another satisfied forum search seeker, lol :)

    SAMSUNG DID IT ON PURPOSE!!!!

    I just got off the phone with them (800-SAMSUNG). Their official reply is, "It can not be disabled. It is a safety feature of Samsung products."

    I am returning my $1000 laptop today!

    What a waste of money.

    After I return my $1000 Samsung, I will test other laptops in the "big box" to see if other manufacturer's devices do the same. It would be a big disappointment if Windows implemented this roadblock. I heard of an EU standard that says something to the effect of having to reduce volume upon insertion. ok, fine. After it's plugged in you should not see the warning every time you try to go above 39 after reduction. It is especially annoying because it stops you from doing what ever it was you were doing. The flag does not go away until you interact.

    Solution:

    1. Return Samsung product to store for full refund.
    2. Do not purchase Samsung products in the future.
    3. Do not let friends buy Samsung products. (You know they will call you when they need tech.)

    Good Luck.

    Windows, do more, pay less...

    You don't need to do this, just uninstall a realtek driver, that's work!
