I referenced applications other than an anti-virus application.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These
include but are not limited to Ad-aware Pro's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea
Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, Norton
AntiVirus,
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, many other anti-virus
applications, and Zone Alarm (Free, Pro, & Security Suite).

I'm running MCE2005 (WinXP Pro) on an ASUS P5B-e MB with on-board

Devices. For the past few days, when I re-boot the system, the
Windows
startup sound abruptly cuts out partway through the logon sequence
and
the
volume control shows the 'Wave' volume is at zero. I reset the volume
to
max
but when I re-boot again the volume is back to zero again. Is there a
registry entry that could be causing this to happen?


The only virii scanner I'm using is AVG Free. I tried shutting it down,
resetting the sound levels and rebooting. No change. Any other
thoughts?


I know. I'm not running any other resident anti-anything programs. I use
AD-Aware (the free version) on-demand for spyware, so that's not a
problem. For my firewall I use windows built-in one (as well as my
hardware based router firewall). Any other suggestions?

I think I've tried that before for a different problem. In any event, I've
run it again and the Wave volume level still refuses to stick... any other
ideas?
