    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!

    Speaker MUTE Key and ICON

    The suggestions about restarting the explorer.exe and running sfc didn't fix the problem. I don't think there is a
    corruped file becuase the mute switch worked fine until the day I upgraded from 7 to 10.

    I ran a copy of Linux Live and the mute icon works fine, going back to win 10 the mute switch is always on regardless the postilion of the speaker mute key, the ICON is always on.

    Speakers Stuck On Mute

    • like i said i tried everything i could find about this it, all u mentioned besides unplug the audio jack since its a laptop
    Acer R3-131T , Windows Version : Windows 10 Home, Build 1709(Compilation of OS 16299.192)

    it already came with the laptop so it just updates when Windows Update has an update for it (wich so far caused no problem and i think it had nothing to do with the speaker stuck on mute).

    the speaker is indeed set as default since there is no other Driver (Realtek HD Audio)

    like i said also i made it work once by constantly re-installing Driver (from Acer website) but keyboard stopped working after that.
