    Hi Vern Adams,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I'm happy to help.

    Did you install necessary drivers for your computer? If you did not do so, please navigate to your motherboard or laptop support page, download and install the drivers.

    If you have trouble finding them, please provide me your motherboard or laptop model and the Windows version you're using.

    Thank you for your time.

    To disable the volume control when the computer is locked, you need to set the EnableVolumeControlWhileLocked option to false in the system settings. This will prevent users from adjusting the volume while the computer is locked.

    Here is an example of how you can configure it in XML:

    <EnableVolumeControlWhileLocked>false</EnableVolumeControlWhileLocked>
    

    By default, this setting is enabled (set to true), allowing volume adjustments even when the computer is locked. To change this setting, you may need to access the appropriate configuration files or group policy settings depending on your system setup.
