Ok, so heres the deal...
Every time I boot up my lappy, if the sound adjuster on the side isn't turned all the way up, the audio driver will not load...

And sometimes it doesn't load even when it is all the way up...

The only way that successfully restores my sound (as far as I know), is rebooting.... Now, I do this daily, and when I leave I power it down, so sometimes multiple times a day...

Does anyone know what could be causing this, and a way to fix it?

I have the latest audio driver for it and everything, and when I have no sound, my device manager says my that there are no problems detected...

Someone please help, I'm getting rather frustrated.
