Sound is unstable. Volume up and down?

&Sound is unstable. Volume up and down?y Hi guys. I'm completely at a loss with my PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series.
Recently I formatted my computer and installed all of the latest drivers for my card with WinXP Pro 32, problem now is that the volume is up and down like strippers knickers!
The volume goes up and down?with everything. Doesn't matter if I'm playing a game, listening to music or watching movies both from DVD and AVI.
I've tried to resolve this in all 3 settings (Game, Entertainment, Audio Creation modes) with CMSS and Crystalizer turned on and off.....no difference.
The SMV (Smart Volume Management) is disabled. I've even disconnected the front panel.
The speakers are connected via the analogue connections.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Brett

Hi jmacguire.
I've checked the global speaker volume as suggested and they are all set to max.
As far as keyboard goes, I've got the Logitech g5 keyboard (without drivers installed for it).
How very interesting..... I've just installed the drivers for it and it's fixed the problem. Typically I looked for the hardest way to fix this when the answer was so simple.
Thank you for your fast reply to my problem.
Regards
Brett

1. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.

If you want to get a little more "exotic" you can try remapping the function keys. I did a little google searching and the hits that looked promising are,

My ipod 3 generation,Keys of volume up and down are not working..What can i do?

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I found a solution!! so go into your settings - where it says "use side switch to:" click mute instead of lock rotation. Seems that somehow it was locked on mute (eventhough my buttons were showing me turning volume up and down) now its all working perfec

Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

IMac spakers shift audio volume up and down...

I play a song through iTunes and through the iMac's speakers, the volume sort of cuts out and shifts between volumes. Almost like it's hitting its limit in terms of volume. This only happens when the iMac's volume is at its peak, same with iTunes' built-in volume. I've never had this problem before, but could it be possible the speakers may have been somewhat damaged before I bought it? It was a Refreshed (open box) item from an Apple Store in San Francisco, CA.

Thanks.

ITunes changes my playing song, creates a remote playlist automatically, and volume ups and downs?

Any one can help?

Well, I'm stumped (for now!).
If you've turned off the Shuffle feature, then the Skip when shuffling cannot be a problem, so we've successfully eliminated that as the issue. (For your information, this feature is set for each song; highlight a song and select right-click/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling.)
Let's start from scratch.
Close iTunes, and then re-start it.
Select (but do not start) one of your Playlists. It should look like this, The Now Playing area should be blank, apart from the Apple logo.:
I'm looking at my Playlist, named Radio Ultima. The Now Playing area is empty. Note that the first song in my Playlist is Masar.
Click on the Play icon. The first song in your Playlist should start playing.
You should now have a screen similar to this. Sure enough, the song Masar is now playing in my iTunes. Note that neither the Shuffle nor the Repeat icons are blue, so they're switched off. Don't touch them.
Click on the List icon (ringed in red in my screenshot) and you should see a list similar to mine:
The first song in that drop-down list is second in the main window. It will play next. Do not select the Clear button, it will empty the "Play Next" list, which we don't want to do.
When Masar finishes playing, the Now Playing window changes, to look like this:
The Next Up song from the drop-down menu is now playing. In my screenshot, you'll notice that the song Masar has disappeared. This is because this particular Playlist removes songs after they have been played. In your view, the first song should still be visible.
If this doesn't happen, at what point do you see anything different to my screenshots?
As I'm writing this, I have had another idea, but let's look at the results of this experiment first.

Turning my 6g nano ipod on,there was a white screen. so when i went to pres the sleep button and volume down button it went to a black screen. then the directions said to press volume up and down for a while to get to disk mode... nothing happened.

Hello, Juniorjr2.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled. Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy. To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature. You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps. If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.

My 6th generation nano is stuck in diagnostic mode. I tried resetting it but itunes does not recognize it. I've tried holding down various combinations of sleep, volume up and down without any success. Any thoughts?

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.

No Sound from Mac Pro, however, volume icon moves up and down

Hello, I was using my 12 month old Mac Pro last night and it worked fine with sound as normal. When I powered it up today there is no sound coming from my monitor, but the volume icon moves up and down when I press the keys? I've checked in the Preference sound file and everything is set ok? I googled this problem and some people have suggested that there should not be a 'red' light showing in the digital connection on the back? However, I can see a red light, I've tried using my headphones in the front mini-jack and nothing? I disconnected the monitor audio cables restarted the Mac, there was then sound as normal if I used the sound keys. I re-connected the audio cable and it continued to play sound for 5 minutes or so, then stopped working again?

I have a problem with my Powerbook automatically muting. If you read the posts, there seem to be a lot of people having this problem and no one can explain or help.

Solved: Attention T510 owners: Audio / sound volume goes up and down

Hi all,
I am a new owner of a T510, and have discovered the audio goes up and down when listening to music through the speakers, running on battery. I would like to get in contact with other T510 owners, who can test if their unit has the same problem - try this:
1. Check all the settings in the SmartAudio control panel (using the newest driver) - making sure no EQ is set, nor VOIP settings or anything like that.
2. Check that no plugin was loaded in the sound control options (I am using Windows 7, 32 bit).
Now try and play this youtube song, and listen to the volume at around 40 seconds when the lead singer begins - does your audio volume go up and then down again when he stops? If you listen to the complete song, it goes up and down some more times.

Edit #1:
I can unfortunately now add, that the problem is also there when using the AC adapter. It is so **bleep** annoying the volume fluctuates, and it is VERY easy to hear on the above link. Hoping to hear from other T510 users what their findings is. For information I can tell I am using the power plan called "Maximum Performance", in the power manager from Lenovo. The T510 model is a 4349-4JG.
/Kenneth
Edit #2:
I have now had time to test it some more, using another HDD (didnt want to reinstall windows on my SSD, hehe) - and can hereby say that it seems to be a bug in the audio driver / SmartAudio control panel. Clean Windows 7, 32 bit, has the problems - but when you disable the VOIP function in the Smart Audio control panel, the problem disappears (actually it was just the VOIP function that was active before). If you then try to enable the VOIP function again, the "problem" does not come back (hence the bug comes into action now). After this test, I put my SSD back into the laptop, and tried to mess with the VOIP functions (again, had already tried to mess with it), and it did not do anything (hence the bug is active now). Therefore I reinstalled the audio driver - tried to check if the problem was there, it was. Then I did the same procedure as on the other HDD, tried to disable the VOIP (before I installed anything else and such!), and the problem is now gone. And the result now is that when I try and enable the VOIP function again, the problem does not come back (hence the bug is now active) = me happy
In short terms:
The bug can either have the VOIP enabled and you can not disable it, or it can be the other way around - it cant be enabled. To "turn" the bug around, reinstall the audio driver :-)

Hi,
Ive been having this problem with my Compaq CQ60-615DX for almost a year now. When im listening to music I can hear the audio going up and down through it. One sec itll be loud and the next its like the audio being turned down (but the volume bar does not move). I also have SmartAudio with the Conexant High Definition. So, I see that you have figured it out. Ive tried to understand what you said but im not very literate with computers. Could you explain how to stop it step by step? I would appreciate it. Thanks.
