    IE 11 keeps resetting the sound level back to 100%.


    Here is my problem:
    IE 11 keeps resetting the sound level back to 100%.

    I’m using several different browsers,(chrome, firefox, IE 11) and I have the sound levels adjusted for each of them. IE is the only one that keeps resetting the sound level back to 100%. I have a Creative/Sound Blaster Audigy sound card (to which I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest drivers – no change) which is working fine for everything else – except IE 11.
    I have tried pretty much everything I can think of with no success – opened to new input…
    Thanks

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    I'm not even sure Internet explorer in general cares if you have speakers/ sound or not,
    It "ie" certainly doesn't control sound or reset,
    There must be a keyboard combination which is being used unknowingly by you,
    To rule out third party items,
    Use Clean boot,
    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/179159-troubleshoot-application-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html
    See what this does,
    Use No Add-ons mode/ Click the Start button and type in the search box,
    Internet explorer

    Click on the suggestion (No Add-ons) or it’s located at,
    Start/ All programs/ Accessories folder/ System tools folder/ No add-ons.

    If using ie10 the first link will apply to ie9 as well,

    Activate EPM if on a 64 bit version of windows,

    Add the Run box to the Start menu list,
    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/559-start-menu-add-run-button.html
    Open the Run command and Paste this into it and Okay,
    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

    Hi TrashZone and thx for taking the time..

    "It "ie" certainly doesn't control sound or reset"
    IE controls and resets the slider in the volume mixer assigned to IE - which is the point and the problem. The other sliders are unaffected as i have mentioned.
    Your suggestions are based on add-on conflict. I have already tried booting in safe mode, disabling add-ons and using IE(no add-ons) - no go.. Thanks anyway

    Hi,
    See if rolling back to ie10 resolves the issue,
    ie11 is no different,
