Volume slider drops to Zero

Clean install vista home basic

My volume starts off at zero, and the only way I can get sound to play is to
manually hold the slider bar up. If I release the volume slider control bar
(let go of the mouse button) the slider drops all the way back down to zero,
by itself, and I can't hear anything again.

Has anyone ever heard of this problem?

What is the sound device in your system? Maybe there is a driver update for
it?

I'm having the exact same problem. I just bought a Dell inspiron 1525 with Vista SP1. I can't get the volume to stay up unless I continually hold the sound control.

Anyone have any ideas?
