1472558 2020-10-25 09:07:00 Last night I played 2 DVD s using my external DVD player.
Tonight i went to watch the next episode of those discs but the sound keeps resetting to zero. The Speaker Icon in Task Bar shows a volume setting OK.
When I click on the externa Drive to play with VLC the slide bar (not the speaker icon) shows white = 0%. I drag it to a suitable volume % but it immediately slides back to 0%.

In desperation I thought i should try a System restore only to find that a Restore point i created about 2 weeks ago no longer appears.

On my Hard disc I have several Video Clips and they play with full sound as per normal.

Help please

thanks

1472559 2020-10-25 20:07:00 Sounds a bit odd ( no pun intended) Found the following article, have a read, may help - Short version - Mouse Problem. www.redrhino.co.uk wainuitech (129)
1472560 2020-10-27 00:32:00 Many thanks ,Wainui.
That makes sense . Last night I was able to watch and listen (the sliding back to Zero did not occur).
I have a wireless mouse but same principle as a cable i guess.

FYI I yesterday "lashed out": and spent $25 on a new Microsoft Wireless mouse.
Items now work as expected which confirms what you suggested in your post

regards
