My sound is muted, and it's still blaring sound

As the title suggests, my Windows HP Pavilion Entertainment PC (I think, I'm just going on the label under my keyboard really. No idea with computer models to be honest) is having an issue where I'll plug in headphones and it'll put sound through the headphones, but still throw out sound through the speakers, something that is very annoying in a household with other people in it. And, when I try to change from the speakers to the headphones, which are working perfectly fine too, it doesn't give that option at all. And, when I have my sound muted, sound still plays on half the time. THen, there's a problem were I need to restart my computer if I close the lid for it to work. 
Is this computer just so old that I need a new one already? Is it a bug? Is it something that can be easily fixed? How should I go about this problem?

    Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). If that doesn't work, perform a Restore via iTunes (from backup).

  • Excited 10.1 at305 Sound is muted and I can't find a way to un mute

    Hello group! This is driving me bonkers! LOL. I have no clue how the sound became muted to begin with. Even worse is that I cannot find a way to get it back! I have all of the sound settings set to 100 perce, but the sound icon shows a / (slash) through it and can find no way to clear i. PLEASE, any help would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

    I have done both and still I am stuck in mute. In the past I have been able to "reset" by holding the volume button in the foment position, but not this time.

  • Sound is muted and locked on my Mackbook Air

    My Macbook Air is four months old and the sound is now muted and locked.
    After reading all the forums, I've reset the PRAM (although I have since learned this won't affect it) and also the SMC power management with no success. I have reset, turned the power on and off and have also plugged an unplugged headphones into the jack.
    I believe it muted itself after I started watching a VEVO video on a film makers website.
    I'm currently travelling and don't have time to leave it at a Mac Store for it to be repaired.
    Does anyone have any potential solutions?
    Much appreciated,
    James

    Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

  • Satellite A300-129 - Sound is muted and icon does not respond

    Dear all,
    I am trying to switch on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I had muted it a couple of days ago, but the icon does not respond.
    When I click on the right mouse button, I can go to sounds etc., but "Open volume mixer" does not respond either. I have also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
    What can I do? Your help will be much appreciated.

    >How do I do that safely without risking losing sound forever?
    LOL You will not lose anything for ever. :D in worst case you will have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disk.
    Access the device manager -> mark the sound card -> use delete button -> reboot the notebook
    After new reboot the sound driver should reinstall again and should detect the sound card.

  • Sound keeps muted, iTunes doesn't play songs

    Sinds a week or two sometimes when I boot my mac my sound doesn't work. My sound keeps muted and I can't turn the volume up because it's unclickable grey.
    Someone told me to do the "cmd + ctrl + n + v"-trick and that sometimes helps me but the problem keeps coming back. Also iTunes doesn't want to play my songs, it keeps stuck on 0:00.
    In my sound-systempreferences everything seems okay.
    My specs are:
    -  iMac mid 2012 running OSX lion 10.7.4
    -  Processor  3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    -  Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    -  Video AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

    the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

  • No sound not muted please help and thanks

    My iPad was working great the first part of the day yesterday and then later that night I went to listen to some music and there was no sound. I plugged in my headphones and nothing. I checked to see if it was muted and it wasn't I also checked the switch above the volume and it wasn't muted either. Is my iPad broken? Please help and thank you in advance.

    Do you have sound through the built in the speaker?
    You could try resetting the iPad and see if the sound comes back. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You can also try reinserting the headphones and removing them a couple of times and see if the sound comes back on.
    The side switch will mute system sounds if it is set to do so. Music will still play even if you mute system sounds.

  • I have an iMovie that I created 10 years ago.  I found the disk and imported.  Everything is there except the sound!  I converted in Wondershare to MPV4 but still no sound.  There is an audio clip that was imported from an analog video camera.

    A small update to this issue....
    I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
    And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
    Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
    Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?
    To view all objects in your mixer, click the button. You may have to scroll sideways to check the whole mixer.

  • I have no sound, in settings the sound is on and turned up, but still no sound.  I have restarted and done all I can think of

    I haven't sound my iPad, settings are correct, have done a complete shutdown to see if that helps. Still nothing.

    Do you have sound in the Music App or the YouTube app? If you do, you have system sounds muted.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My iPad will not make any sound whatsoever. I reset it to factory settings and still no sound. Help

    My iPad will not make any sound whatsoever. I reset it to factory settings and still no sound. Help

    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
