HP Envy 15" DV7 Started about a month ago...and I'm almost certain it followed a Windows Update.
I have this computer set to download but ask me what updates to install...I didn't want any part of Windows 10.
(Considering the cost of every Windows Operating System since the beginning, the fact they were giving it away for free should have caused some questions in anyone's mind)
But I digress.
No matter where I set volume...almost immediately the MUTE light comes on over the f6 key which is "mute"...I turn the volume back up, and poof...muted again.
Playing something with sound is not required to make it drop to MUTE.
It will happen, on it's own, anywhere from 30 seconds to five minutes later but it IS going to happen every time.
There are a few "solutions" out there. Mostly involving going through Device Manager, opening the sound and then unchecking "allow programs to control this device" or something like that...doesn't matter...changes nothing.
There is no "adjustment" I can make to fix this.
If Microsatan came up with a patch to fix it, it's not been downloaded to my computer yet.
None of the "fixes" I've seen online fix anything.
The person who answered on the other board said...malware.
Malware Bytes sees nothing. Chameleon sees nothing. Stumped
