VOLUME CONROL!! ( PLS HELP)

Hi, i've a sound blaster live sound card and everything was working fine till recently. now there's something wrong with the volume control. when i play songs, the wave/direct sound slider automatically slides down for some reason resulting in lower sound. however im able to dbl click on the volume icon on the taskbar and slide up the wave/direct sound notch and the master volume increases. but then again when i try playing another song, it slides down automatically. and i've to manually slide up the volume everytime. its really annoying and any help would be greatly appriciated. thanks in advance.

Playback Volume Level Changes Are Not Saved on ESS 1887 (Q188179) http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q188179 (copy and paste the entire link):
"...the ESS Record Waveout volume control saves its volume level information in the registry last, overwriting the standard Windows volume control information... use the Record Waveout volume control to adjust both playback and record volume settings."
