Volume freezer

I have a TV card and the TV application messes up my main system volume when it exits. The solution I'm looking for will do something like the PCPlus application "volfrz.exe", referenced here near the end of the answer.

(for the lazy)

In the meantime, a quick and dirty hack may help. On the SuperDisc is a program called Volfrz.exe. Run it at a time when the volume setting is correct (probably by placing it in the StartUp group). It will note the current wave audio volume and then sit in memory, restoring the setting to the remembered level every few seconds.

Idears?
