What sound setting am I missing?

[mendoman]

In Win 2K, I have to set all master volumes to nearly zero, because the windows sounds (clicking the start button, etc...) is unbelievably loud. The rest of my audio playback is low though. What am I missing?

are you sure you are seeing ALL the master volumes?
double click the sound icon
then go to properties i think it is and u will see a list of all your sound options available to change. ensure that all are ticked. you might be missing an important one like waveout or directsound volume etc

thats all i can thinkof

I figured out the problem.

I am a dumbass.

I downloaded and installed the latest version of Windows Media Player. I DID NOT restart the computer right away. A few hours later I tried and tried to figure it out and then it hit me. REBOOT IDIOT.

Thanks for helping the helpless.
