How steering wheel control operates the volume of audio system of car?
This means that your power steering pump is putting excess load on your engine and slowing the RPMs. This then results in the alternator not being able to keep a 12v constant power source for the stereo, resulting in an inconsistent audio quality. Check your power steering fluid, and have your voltage regulator tested.

it sounds like your power steering fluid is low,,,,, or your power steering pump is leaking (which means it needs to be replaced)... I hope it turns out to be low steering fluid. If the power steering fluid is low, you can have someone add fluid, but keep and eye on whether or not that fluid level is dropping or leaking. Good luck to you.

What would cause a power steering pump to go out repeatedly on a 1999 Ford F-250 diesel?
I would say most likely HEAT! Does the power steering unit have a cooler? When you changed the power steering unit previously did you replace, not replenish, replace the fluid? Usually pwer steering pumps run a long time but once the fluid gets contaminated, either with dirt, debris or the lubricants are cooked out of the fluid then the fluid doesn't keep the seals soft. When the seals get hard the unit leaks and sometimes whines and squeals. I have added Lucas Power Steering Additive to some power steering untis that were on thei rlast legs to get them to last awhile longer. It's about $10.00 for a small bottle but it did stop leaks. If your power steering unti is out and you are going to replace it, look into adding a cooler to it, a small condensor that will remove some of the heat from the fluid. Or you could maybe insulate the power steering unit with some sort of insulation material. The power steering unti sometime sits very close to the headers or exhaust manifolds which helps deteriorate the fluid. Power Steering fluid is one of the most overlooked fluids. Many of today scars use transmission fluid for the power steering fluid and if you ever have a transmission get the fluid all hot, you will soon be replacing or repairing the tranny.
