Windows 10: Speakers muted . I run the Trouble Shooter and it says Fixed and I usually can get them to...

I am having trouble with my speakers. I can run the Trouble Shooter and it will show fixed and usually this will solve the problem. However the next day they are muted again and can't be opened from the task bar This means I have to go back tot he Trouble Shooter and hopefully get it Fixed once a gain. Clicking on the task bar Speaker indicator does nothing. ICan anyone help as I am not that computer conversant. Thanks

No speakers or headphones are plugged in Windows 10

Hello @claudsg,

The Red X normally indicates that the sound is muted.

Some other suggestions . . .

> Open the Settings, click System, select Sound, and run the Trouble-Shooter.
> Check that the speaker jack is correctly plugged into the correct socket of the computer.
> Check that the speakers are turned on and turned up.

I hope this helps.

 

How do I mute my internal laptop speakers leaving external speakers on

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie. Windows 10. Incredibly I was innocently dusting my Del laptop keys when my computer sound (usually set on Pandora music) was muted, showing an 'x' over speaker icon on taskbar. Previously I could just click it to get it unmuted. This time it took about two hours of my time. Now I have sound coming out of both my external speakers and my internal speakers, when previously just plugging in my external speakers would mute my internal, or built-in, speakers. Is there any way I can mute my internal speakers without muting my external speakers without spending the rest of the day in troubleshooting, involving detailed examination of my motherboard and countless other steps?
Thanks for listening!
