Laptop speaker issues.


Question Posted Thursday August 19 2010, 1:46 pm

The inbuilt speakers on my laptop play every other sound, from wherever, besides my iTunes.
This is something new, since a couple of days ago iTunes still played.
I hear sounds from websites, online videos (YouTube) and so on. It's just iTunes that doesn't make a sound.
And yeah, the volume bar at the top is on full, and the timer shows that the song is actually playing.
What could be the problem?
I have a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop, operating Windows Vista, and the latest version of iTunes.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi there,

In Vista, practically everything gets a slider and mute in the volume mixer.

Right click on the speaker icon by your clock, and click "Open Volume Mixer."

Then, you will see sliders for everything you have open. You may have to scroll the list right or left to see everything.

Make sure you have iTunes open at the time you do this. Find the slider for it, make sure the mute isn't on it and that it is slid up.

That is the most common way this happens on Vista. If that wasn't your issue, let me know.
