    Strange one this. I was watching TV on my laptop when then sound just dimmed, its whisper quiet and the volume is turned upto 100%. Both on the internet vdeo and the laptop.

    Any ideas? Its the same when wearing headphones too, and strangely enough, even when H/P are'nt plugged in theres still a symbol of H/P in the volume menu on the task bar.
