    Hi. Thanks to this site, I'm a proud owner of a dv5t.

    However, if I leave my computer on for awhile (several hours for a bt dl)and come back to it, the sound does not work. I have not muted it, nor have headphones plugged in. Also, WMP doesn't work under the same situation. I'll click play and nothing happens...its not even coming up in the task manager.

    Both of these are resolved if I restart. Any solutions? Thanks.

    Thanks. I just did that; only time will tell if it worked. How about the WMP problem?
