    sound card settings keep changing

    I have a user whose dell laptop sound card settings keep changing. What could be the cause of this? There is no virus on it..or spam..
    What else could be the cause?

    I don't think so, I will check with her. It changes from laptop settings to a desktop format. when it does that, no sound is heard until I change it back.
    Windows XP

    Quite possibly, it has to reroute the sound, is she not capable of changing it back?

    The you will have to write a script or tell her she will have to use headphones permanently. If she can't select between two sound outputs, I wonder if she just needs an ipod...

    Perhaps USB headphones would work.

    No I meant a script which runs from a shortcut to change the speakers...

    But if she is that bad, why does she need one?
