I have a Toshiba Tecra M6 with SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio. When I
click on the sound icon in the systray & set the volume to high in the mixer,
the setting will not stay & the sound slides back to zero. This happens when
I'm playing a CD or talking on Skype. I have to manually keep my cursor on
the volume & keep sliding it up to 100.

I can't find a volume setting in the control panel. The sound icon has
every unuseful tab & configuration/properties buttons except a volume setting
bar. I'm seriously considering going back to XP; it appears that the nerds
at MS never took a class in change management. They sure took their users
out of their comfort zone when they introduced Vista!

Where can I set the volume controls so they stick?

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There
are some that cause problems.

Thanks for your interest. My firewall is the MS default and the anti-virus
program is Avira Antivir PE. I have several antispyware programs running as
they all seem to defend against different things and being located overseas I
have to worry more about this than viruses. These include (in the background
real time): Spyware Doctor, Spyware Terminator, SpywareBlaster and
SpywareGuard. I also run A- Squared, Ad-Aware SE and AVG Anti-Spyware when I
want to cross check things.

Actually, I would be satisfied if the sound icon in the Vista control panel
would just simply give me the tools to set the toggle for high volume & leave
it there, like RealTek does. I'm not impressed with either SoundMax or the
Vista control panel; it uneccesarily complicates what used to be an
intuitive, simple process.

Hi,

I'm having a similar problem with my Toshiba Tecra M7 with a RealTek
integrated soundcard. I'm getting no sound at all. It worked when I first got
the computer a couple of months ago. The problem seemed to happen after
Windows performed an update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying to fix this for
about a month now.
