Couldn't find anything. Only the sb16 drivers. Only settings were
for address etc.

 BG> Am I missing something? Do others find this?

IS>Till I found out how to stop it, yes :)  I also

Thanks for that tip. I found an sb os/2 mixer sdsbpmix.exe which,
when loaded, appears to return the setting to default, or a
'saved' version. I say 'appears' because I have no way of
actually measuring that except for apparent sound volume.

But, that is still a work around. I'd still like to find out why
winos2 goes high volume on exit. There are quite a few settings
in system.ini that I might fiddle with. I will let you know if
anything works.

Thanks for your reply.

Cheers,

Bill Garsden
