Volume loud on startup, even tho volume bar is at bottom

[Guest]

Every time I start my computer, the volume is extremely loud, even though I
have the volume turned down. As soon as I touch the volume bar, the volume
shoots down to exactly where the bar is and it's fine. What causes this and
how can I stop it? Thanks!!

You probably need updated drivers for your sound card.

Thanks, but I think the problem was, I had it set up so that a sound would
play when my xp loaded up and my computer was ready to be used (so when I'm
in the bathroom I know I can come in and turn my music on!!) I turned that
off and it doesn't do it anymore.......weird, but it worked!!! Nothing's
perfect, I guess........!!!
