Armada M700 Audio

[Gregory Lumpkin]

Hello all,

I just joined this list so if my question has been
answered already, please forgive me.

I have a Compaq Armada M700 laptop.  FC2 found the
sound card and played the demo sound file just fine. 
The problem I have is that the volume keeps getting
set to 0.  I can take the mouse pointer, drag the
volume control up, but when I let go, it slowly falls
down to nothing again.

I've run Up2Date and updated everything on the system.
 What more can I do to resolve this?

Thanks,
Greg
