googling it seems a common issue, sometimes fixed by rebooting but for me it hasn't.

the volume keeps turning itself down to zero. the volume button feels ok it doesn't seem to be as simple as being stuck down.

really annoying and it's out of warranty as well.

I don't suppose anyone here has fixed one like this have they?

If you turn it up does it immediately turn itself down or after a while?

Thanks for the reply. sometimes it may last a few seconds but it's almost always right away. randomly before after a reboot it errored the opposite way. not only did it not turn down, it wouldn't turn down at all, only up using the buttons
however I can work with that as I can turn it down via software.
(indeed IF it turns out the button is faulty I may just destroy it so it won't work and that is how I will turn it down. I don't want to do this untill I am certain it's hardware however and not a weird software glitch which some claim it is

steamOS. I factory reset and unfortunately no dice. I have just put a support ticket in . I am not sure but I don't think it is under warranty. I may take it apart myself or see if a local phone repair shop will take a look
 
just had the rma email . it's going to.. Prague I think it said. still just in warranty I got it 2nd hand 2 months old back in November 2022. it says if they can't repair they may send new machine out. would be such a shame if they only had oled models in stock :D
