How can I disable the unsafe volume warning?

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...

Just uninstall Samsung audio drivers (In my case Realtek) restart and voilá!

Warning is gone, sound working as good as always.

I case you find problems after doing that just look for generic Realtek audio drivers from their website and don't use Samsung ones.

Thanks! Turns out you don't need the manufacturer's programs for anything in modern Windows. Just uninstall Realtek's audio driver from Add or Remove Programs and everything works perfectly.

I actually just discovered that as well -- it is when using the headphone plug.  I also found out that it is due to European law:

"Under the new rules, higher exposure levels are permitted, but the user must willingly select them after being presented with a warning of the risks and ways to avoid them. How the warnings are provided would be up to the manufacturer and how it displays on the device's screen. Under the old rules, only a warning in the instruction manual was required.

EU standards are not mandatory, however it 'de facto' becomes the industry norm," the European commission said. "Products meeting those standards are presumed safe -– otherwise manufacturers have to go through costly independent testing for products. The new safety standards will apply only to future products."

It happens on my Blackberry Q10 also, everytime I open the Music App it warns me about high volume.

The other day I got a warning saying I have been listening to high volume for too long and it lowered the volume and then blocked me from increasing it. I couldn't even over-ride it!!!
