When I am trying to set the volume on my laptop speaker, I drag the scroll button up to the desired level, but the button &quot;slides&quot; back down to the zero volume level after just a moment.  The sound increases, but decreases to zero as the slider starts it's decline.  This also happens in other applications.  I can use the mouse pointer (by clicking) to move the bar up or down, and I can also use the wheel on the mouse to do the same in the other programs, but the volume control doesn't work with the mouse &quot;wheel&quot; either.  I can manually increase the volume by touching the volume increase (or decrease) on the keyboard.  I feel it must be a problem in Vista Windows, but cannot resolve it.  My laptop is HP Pavilion dv2000 AMD Turion 32 bit OS.© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
