Hello my volume buttons seem to be defected (when I press either the up or down key, the volume on my sensation goes up, then a split second later goes down again so I have no way of lowering and raising the volume. This happens even when I take off the case and just press the buttons on the main unit.
If nobody has any suggestions I think it best I take it back to HTC to get fixed. My phone is rooted and using Revolution HD rom though so I'd like to return it to stock. My CID has been super CID'd to 11111111 however it originally used to be HTC__053 (Thailand).
I have attached a screenshot of my software information - could someone please recommend which stock rom to flash from here?:

Thanks :angel:
I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago after driving through a rainshower; a reflash of my mod unfortunately didn't solve the problem, so I think you are experiencing the same hardware failure I had.
I managed to solve the problem, but for doing so I had to open my sensation and during the process destroy the "void"-label which sits on one of the screws. As I suspected a water damage because of the rain I was driving through before I didn't hesitate too long to take apart my sensation - my warranty was gone either way for me.
If you don't want to risk damaging your phone or losing your warranty you might want to keep your sensation the way it is now. I also kind of arranged myself with the situation before I decided to have a look at the inside of my sensation and actually repaired it succesfully.
If you press one of the volume buttons, the volume might not change, but the volume slider appears and you can change the volume by dragging the dot to your desired volume level. By drawing all the way to the left you have set up complete silence. If you want to turn to vibrate mode, you can press the volume-down button once. For me this worked quite well and I was able to set all volume-levels and modes without any problem.
But as having my sensation in a state it should not be quite bugged me I decided to have a go and try to solve the problem. I watched the tutorial videos available on youtube and saw that the volume-buttons are sitting on a separate board. I then took away the back plate and released the upper mainboard. After that I could pull out the volume-buttons-board, blew off the dust of it and reinserted it. After these steps both volume buttons worked as intended again. So if you think you have the required tools and are a bit handy in taking apart expensive stuff you might consider doing the same as I did.
Of course I want to emphasize that if you decide to take apart your sensation I will in no way take the responsibility for neither any damage that might happen during the process nor for the void warranty. I also can not guarantee, that what worked for me will work in your case.
If you only use the volume buttons for changing the volume (and not for rebooting in case your sensation freezed or starting in bootloader mode) you might consider learning how to live with the new "feature" of your sensation as I described in my third paragraph
