Sound permanently set to zero in sound mixer - the easy solution

So again i got this little-shit-annoying-bug (common for some of you), where 3dmm becomes permanently muted in sound mixer and it can't be turned up. The easy solution i've found online is:

Code:

@ECHO OFF

ECHO Resetting Volume Mixer Settings...
ECHO You will be temporarily be UNABLE to hear any audio.

REM The next two lines will stop the services responsible for audio.
NET STOP Audiosrv
NET STOP AudioEndpointBuilder

REM Let's replace the settings (stored in a registry entry) with an empty entry.
REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore" /F
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore"

REM Finally, we'll start the audio service again. You may have to independently start the AudioEndpointBuilder as well.
NET START Audiosrv

ECHO Volume Mixer settings have been reset.
ECHO You should be able to hear now!
pause

Just copy the text above and paste it to .txt file. Then save it, change txt to bat and run the file as administrator, when asked - press any key to close. It worked like charm for me.
