I only have like 5 or 6 volume options when I slide the slider to certain positions. anything higher than FB, FC, or FD is FF. My volume slider works just fine, but I got the configuration with volume or something messed up when I was using Shutterbug2000's NTR corrupter plugin. I got a MK7 corruption so loud that I could hear it with the volume slider all the way down. I can confirm that it isn't a hardware issue though.
Yeah, you're not supposed to move the slider while the volume adjuster code is running, I forgot to put a warning in it, oops...
I have no idea how it's possible to crash the 3DS so hard that the sound goes maximum volume. If it got really loud when it wasn't loud, that means that the corruptor was doing very naughty things, and you should stop using it, as it could lead to your 3DS never turning on again, based on what you described.
Edit: clarification:
The 3DS uses integer audio, not floating point, meaning that there is a well-defined limit to how loud it can get.
If it got louder all of the sudden, that means that something touched either the MCU (handles CPU power management, timekeeping, gyroscope, and LCD backlight power management) or the CODEC chip (handles audio, touchscreen, and CirclePad), normally none of which are just accessible without deliberately trying.
If these really got touched, then that means that there is a chance that it might touch the MCU in a way which could lead to your 3DS never turning back on again without reprogramming the MCU chip.
