Every now and then I have the strangest problem with my TR.  The volume gets very, very soft—maybe 50% of original and nothing I do seems to bring it back.

Anyone ever say “I KNOW it used to be much louder than that!” ?

Then here’s something to try.

Go into device manager then open sound video & game.  Disable Soundmax integrated digital audio and then enable it again.

An easy way to test is just hit fn-f3 once or twice to hear the beep.  My beep just got much louder

Even a complete reboot wouldn’t fix my voulme..  I don’t know what exactly disabling it did, but it works great again..
