| Apr 26, 2013 at 0:31 | comment | added | Daniel Saner | There does seem to be a related, actual bug causing it to happen randomly; or at least an errant third-party application triggering it. It has happened to me watching Flash videos in Firefox, listening to music in foobar2000, or watching a video in VLC. In all cases, it happened after several minutes of me not touching the computer at all. I don't even have a microphone connected to this PC. I would also add that while volume reduction is active, the Volume Mixer application is slow to the point of being almost unresponsive. Definitely smells "buggy" to me. | |
