I am running Windows 10 which just received a major update in the last week. I have my audio running through an ASUS Xonar U7 external sound card. Until now, I controlled the volume off of the volume wheel of my Logitech G510 keyboard. A couple of days ago, while wearing headphones connected to the sound card, I noticed the volume display popped up and displayed a slight audio adjustment. I had not touched the volume controls on the keyboard or sound card. This issue only happened once. I have updated the software for the sound card. I have also readjusted the volume knobs on both the keyboard and sound card to zero and am using the volume control on the sound card now because I am thinking there may be some kind of software communication conflict as to which volume control input the sound card software should follow. The volume wheel on the Xonar U7 seems to be working fine and I have only had the sound card for a few months so currently I am ruling it out as a possible cause of the problem. The only possible causes that I can think of for this issue are that maybe the volume wheel on my keyboard, which is 5 years old, may be going bad or when I wasn't looking, the headphone cord may have slid across the keyboard volume wheel causing the wheel to turn and adjust the volume slightly. I was already planning to replace my keyboard with possibly a Logitech G710 in late November. Again the volume software seems to be working properly at least for now. What are the general causes for volume levels adjusting themselves? Could you guys please identify additional possible causes if this problem happens again? I am asking this now because lately I have already had some well taken cared of reliable electronics and computer hardware go bad on me almost simultaneously and I am a little edgy about whether or not this volume issue is a hardware problem that requires another hardware replacement. Thanks in advance.
If it's literally only ever happened once, don't worry about it. My wireless headphones randomly just go to 100% without telling me and scare the cra*out me. It doesn't happen alot though.
It's probably what you just said, a mechanical problem where a slight knock caused it to go up or some software conflict. If it keeps happening, that's when it becomes a problem.
