Why does your iMac keep turning the volume up to maximum automatically and when you turn it down it goes back up again and again?

Answer 1

I've had this problem for awhile now and can't find any solutions to it on the internetanywhere. Basically what happens is I'll turn music on and i'll set the volume to what I want and the volume immediately descends all the way down till I can't hear it anymore. Then when i try to turn it up it blasts all the way up to where it should be and then it turns all the way down again. This is VERY annoying and almost makes listening to anything at a decent volume impossible because it always goes down to nothing. I have the Creative Audigy 2 Soundblaster 6.1 Speakers and the Audio Card that goes with that. I've uninstalled, re-installed, updated drivers. I actually found a thread that sounded like the problem I was having and they said to delete the Creative volume control that comes with the card and speakers, well i did that and still no joy. I'd appreciate any feedback as to if you are having the same problems or some extremely sought after solutions. Thnks
