System alway restarts silently with speaker volume reset to zero.

Hi,

Follow the steps provided below and check if it helps:

How to Adjust the Windows Startup Sound Volume

a)      Click the "Speaker" icon in your system tray. This icon is located next to the computer clock.

b)      Use your computer mouse to drag the volume bar down. If the bar is at the top, the volume of the Windows startup sound is at the maximum; at the bottom, the sound is off. Adjust the bar to your preferred volume.

c)       Restart your computer. When the computer boots up you will hear the Windows Startup sound based on the volume level you set.

System reboots with zero vol.  Speaker vol is reset to zero

Wherever I set the volume it is set to zero when rebooting

I'm going to report this software problem to Microsoft

No good!  It boots silently and the speaker vol is set back to zero.
