It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with the volume control in Windows, specifically with the volume mixer not muting the sound when the slider is set to 0. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:
1. Check System Volume Settings:
- Right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select "Open Volume Mixer."
Ensure that the volume slider for the specific application or device causing the noise is set to 0. - You can adjust the volume sliders for individual applications and system sounds in the mixer.
2. Restart Audio Service:
- Sometimes, restarting the Windows Audio service can resolve volume-related issues. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, type services.msc, and press Enter.
- In the Services window, locate "Windows Audio," right-click on it, and select "Restart." Repeat this process for the "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder" service.
- After restarting the services, check if the volume control behaves correctly.
Hi.
I tried those steps and unfortunately they didn't work. None of the volume bars stay at 0, it always goes back to 1 or above. Note that it initially shows 0 after setting the slider all the way to the left, but when I quit the volume mixer and open it again, it is no longer 0. Step 2 somewhat broke the floating volume control panel on top of the taskbar and this would remain until reboot.
