Headset not playing sounds after mute and unmute

After plugging in my headset into a 3.5mm jack, I can hear sound great. Then, if I were to hit my mute button twice (To mute then u-mute) I can no longer hear sounds.

Tried:

- Updating drivers

- Re-plugging in headphone

- Spamming mute button / volume buttons

- Using other headphones (They work)

- Searching online

I have a:

Lenovo Ideapad z70-80

Sure, I could just not use the mute button but A, it's just above my tinny "1" key and B, I like having a mute button.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions / help!

 

Volume Mixer Shows Sound Muting and Unmuting

As of recently I've been experiencing some sound problems. At first it showed my volume unmuting and muting very quickly when I wasn't doing anything. I did some troubleshooting and it told me that "opening audio enhancements might help", and
gives me an option to open or to not open it. I did, and I messed about with it and fixed the problem. However, I am now experiencing the same problem in a different format: the sound keeps muting for a while then unmuting. I tried doing the same thing I did
before to no avail. The normal volume slider didn't show itself muting, so I opened up volume mixer and it showed all my apps muted. I did not do this. I unmuted them all, but Google Chrome seems to keep muting itself back and then unmuting itself, then muting
itself etc. It mutes at 1-2 second intervals. I scoured the internet for solutions, and it seems that many have been experiencing this problem. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing my sound drivers - nothing. Troubleshooting continues to show "opening
audio enchancements might help" and most internet suggestions do not work. What do I do?

 

Having issue with mute/unmute of laptop

After a reboot, I can click on the speaker in the system tray and successfully mute/unmute my Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop running Windows 11 (up-to-date). After a day or two, clicking on the speaker in the system tray has NO affect on the mute/unmute status. At this point, I can right-click, open SOUND SETTINGS or VOLUME MIXER, and mute/unmute by clicking on the speaker in that window.

I am also seeing this same phenomenon on the network and battery icons in the system tray. I cannot click on either to take action, but if I right-click and open NETWORK AND INTERNET SETTINGS or POWER AND SLEEP SETTINGS, I can do whatever I need to do.

It's more of a nuisance than anything, but would love to hear ideas on how to remedy the situation.
