Sound on my Laptop

knip · 13 Jun 2007 at 19:01

Ive got a 18month old laptop, and it has this weird habit of turning the volume off at random intervals, not muting it, just reducing the volume down so I cant hear anything, I certainly dont alter anything, it just seems to do it like half a dozen times a week and for no apparent reason. Then I have to click on the toolbar at the bottom to turn it back up.
Any idea why?

I've got a similar problem with mine but sounds less frequent than yours whereby touching the vol wheel would mute it/turn if down or even at random. Mine is a Fujitsu Amilo. I thought it may have something to do with a dodgy connection internally but not sure.

I also have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptop. I'm pretty sure the speakers on mine are just plain messed up; they buzz every-so-often and completely turn themselves off. I doubt this is the same problem as you're experiencing, though.

Yup sounds different, the volume on the toolbar at the bottom, the level of it gets physically turned right down, without me even touching it.

This is what im talking about

The bar that adjusts the volume actually gets physically lowered but im not the one who does it. I live on my own and there is no one else who has access to this PC.
