Really odd Problem
Well this one has stumped me!
Basically my sound randomly turns itself up to full volume! I have tried different sound cards and speakers and its still doing it!
Also seems to go up faster as you type , i have checked all volume controls and settings i know of and everything seems ok but it keeps changing itself
Any ideas, its totally fooked up and makes me jump out my skin as i have a 5.1 system setup and full volume is stupidly loud!

do you have volume control on your keyboard....
Would explain the typing and different sound cards.
Maybe your keyboard is shagged so when you type it increases the volume?

Have you tried reinstalling your sound drivers [may be a good idea to look for an update] to rule out any software problem? If not it must be a physical problem with either the control or card.

my old mouse used to randomly scrow everynow and again. By this i take it that you have volume control...
I doubt it will be drivers if you have changed cards and updated when changed.
Have you tried a little 2.1 speak set up to makr sure it isnt the volume controller on your 5.1 ..
Set the volume to near off then see if it increases over the hour...If it does then try a different keyboard, failing that if the volume is still going wierd within windows do a system rebuild as it could be a dodgy app running.

How many different music programmes do you have installed? It's a long shot but you may need to see if one is accessing the Wave or System volume somehow. Other than that as posted above, you may need to format and start from scratch to make sure everything is running right.

I'm strange, i like formatting and getting things running just right! Even though i used to run an IT department in a school i still find it oddly relaxing. I may be mad though...
