Hi all, First post! Hope this is in the right category although it may coincide with security. There is one computer (where I work) where it is absolutely essential that the sound remains on at all times. We have found that users sometimes turn this off as it can be a little offputting but it must remain on. Emails from supervisors and verbal notices have not changed the situation. Removing the audio icon from the taskbar changed nothing as the user just goes directly into the Control Panel. My question is, can I disable all audio settings throughout the machine so they always remain on, or is there somewhere in Windows that logs the setting change so we can narrow down the time it happened? I have looked through Event Viewer but nothing jumps out. Also, the user must have local admin rights. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
