[QUOTE="LazyLizardLady, post: 1327128, member: 223832"] [b]Temp Fix[/b] I have a similar -- if not the same -- problem, except the sound usually stops adjusting when I pull the headphones out, and I can't adjust it unless I put the headphones back in. (Admittedly, the reverse has happened as well.) I don't know what is wrong or how to make it right, but I may have a temporary fix. Whenever you go to plug in or remove your headphones, start hitting the volume buttons as if you were going to max or mute your sound. Make sure you continue to do this AS you remove or plug in the wire. (Continue to hit the volume buttons until the headphones are in, and you can see the visual lowering or raising the volume.) What I find happens is the sound visual pauses when the switch happens, then jumps to the correct volume. At that point when you wear your headphones/mess with the sound, you can hear the volume adjusting properly. This doesn't really fix what is causing the problem, but it beats restarting your computer every time AND allows you to use your headphones freely. [/QUOTE]
