When you slide the volume control with the mouse, it makes a sound.

It shouldn't.

This will not solve your problem but you might find it a good alternative:

When you release it, it makes a Windows sound. It is totally
unnecessary and it is very undesirable when listening to music.

So open the full mixer, rather than the volume control, and turn the
system sounds level down to zero, then you can drag the volume slide all
you like and it won't make a 'ding' when you release it ...

If it is part of the sound software, they probably weren't clever
enough to put the file making the sound out in the open. It's probably
a resource stored in with the code. If it was a file, you could try
looking in the folder where the sound software lives.

Could we get details on the sound chip ? Do you know what it is ?
Do you have a link to the driver download ?

Paul, it's the normal behavior of the System Tray volume control. It
helps you decide whether you like the setting that you made.

Do you plan to fix it, or have you gotten used to it being like that?

Do you plan to fix it, or have you gotten used to it being like that?

While I was able to use the control panel to change sound themes, and
test the individual sounds with the test button, and hear them in the
headphones I was testing with, I couldn't get any sound output from
moving any sliders.

And fixing that, isn't a priority, as most of the time I operate the
laptop using its horrible built in speakers, and you can't tell
the difference between one sound and another with those. Missing
an alert now and then, isn't a big deal.

That's why I use the headphones when testing - the sound is great
that way. But I won't be using headphones during normal usage. And while
I have a spare set of amplified speakers, it's too much trouble to
set those up. It wouldn't be a very "portable" setup that way.
(The amp portion, is home made.)

I have the definitive answer to this!
Get a keyboard with the added extras at the top. I think most have them
these days. And then you can leave the system sounds unchanged, and
adjust the volume from the keyboard.

Which "added extras?" I have a Microsoft keyboard with buttons for
"Mail," "Search," "Favorites," etc., but I don't see anything about
volume or sound.

Just go shopping for a keyboard that has the sound option then.

Right then, this just for you.

Turn system volume all the way up; use speaker volume button to adjust
as required.

I read your posts that mentioned that, but only after I posted the
above. But I think it really is the normal behavior, as Char
implies[1].

I do realize that it annoys the OP, and maybe it would annoy you too,
but I have no idea how to change that behavior, sorry.

The definitive answer requires getting a new keyboard? I think not.
