For the last two days I've been experiencing trouble with the volume in
media player 10.  The volume fluctuates, from barely discernable to
blaring.  This is true with mp3, wave, and video files.   I'm not
touching the volume control and can't detect any behavior on my part
(clicking this or moving that) that is consistent with the rise and
fall.

I did a little research in this group and on the net and the common
advice is update your drivers.  Which I did.  And I still have a
problem. And its not confined to MediaPlayer, but is obvious in other
media playing clients.

I also uninstalled a bunch of codecs I rarely use and reinstalled the
DIVX codecs.  Still no luck.

I'm running Windows XP, SB Audigy 2 Value soundcard.

I'd certainly appreciate any ideas. This is getting bothersome.

Hi Darth,

Have you tried downloading the latest Windows Media Player?

Here's the link:

Also try using other media players like www.winamp.com or www.itunes.com to
see if you have the same problems. If you don't, you can narrow it down to
Windows Media Player.

Good Luck and Let Us Know.

So, yes, the problem appears to be system wide.

The OP states that he has a similar problem in other media clients.
