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.

I'm sorry. I could not hear you as my hearing was damaged by listening to music too loudly.

Legally Microsoft may have to put out this warning. There are similar warnings on smartphones both Windows and Android. I could not find a way to disable it.

Any update? This shouldn't be hard to disable.

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.

As soon as I can find what registry key to modify, I'll do it!

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!
