This may or maynot be wineq2 but....

Does anyone else have intermittent problems with EQ2 or EQ1 turning down your Windows master Volume? Currently it's happening with an AC '97 cheap on board.......Support at sony didn't have a history of complaints about it, so am just going through the paces making sure it's not a wineq2 type incodent.........

WinEQ 2 doesn't touch your volume controls. It doesn't do anything related to audio unless you use the video recording options, and even then it's not changing the volume. So this wouldn't be related to WinEQ 2, though I'm sure you can find some anecdotal evidence if you ask enough people that something seems to happen with WinEQ 2 and not without. Also, bear in mind that people don't troll these boards, you'd have a better shot at finding information in in-game channels or on the official SOE forums. You don't need to be afraid to mention WinEQ -- there's plenty of conversations on the official forums and such involving WinEQ and EQPlayNice, and nobody gets banned for using them.

Hope this helps you in some fashion
