Power DVD, volume going haywire

Ever since I have had PowerDVD installed on my computer, it has always done crazy junk with my various volume controls. I have reformatted about 4 times since I have owned my computer always with updated drivers but it relentlessly jacks my master volume up and my wave volume down and vice versa, I even upgraded from version 4 to 5 and it still does it, any ideas?

Hah, that is a really interesting problem.
Can you just re-adjust the volume settings after they're changed?
Also, when does the volume shifting occur?
Finally, what exactly does that software do? Is there something similar you can download that does the same thing, without screwing up the volume? If not, and it canbe re-adjusted, you may just have to deal with it.

Yeah that's what I have always done to compensate it is just REALLY annoying, esp if I have friends over for a movie night. It also damages my speakers cuz the volume jumps ALL the way up till I rush over and mute it.
It makes the jump right when the program starts or right when it closes. I prefer Power DVD cuz, well, its just WAAAYYY better than anything else, but no other playback software acts this way.

Sure you dont have a short in your keyboard's volume knob(if you have one)? Some of them can be very touchy and overtime, they will change volume on their own. I just replaced my old keyboard with a Logitech Elite partly because of that. The volume would just change on its own, and I narrowed it down to the knob(OSD would come on when it did it).
I checked their FAQs and dont see anything about this problem.

Nope there is no short, if there was, would that explain why it only jumped to the same predictible levels when I just open or close PowerDVD then and only then?

I have this same kind of problem with windvd. Instead of turning my volume all the way up (which it can't, cause I already put it that way myself), it puts my master volume to zero, which is just as annoying. It only does it on opening the program, and only sometimes. Never found out what caused it though.

Yeah, sounds similar to me, maybe its my cheap workstation onboard sound.
