It happens when I press the mute button or the "down" key on my keyboard or on You tube or in a video player program. Then when I want to bring the sound back I often have to try many things before all of a sudden it comes back. (and I never know what I did!) Sometimes I have to re-boot. There are so many places to look. Video players. The system tray Your sound card software. Any comments or suggestions ?	Digby (677)

The reason for this is to see if its something muted / causing it to mute ( or take over the audio), OR if the drivers are damaged. If its clean then its on average not a driver but some program causing it.	wainuitech (129)

When that happens even mp3s wont give any sound So i go into control panel, click some buttons in the sound option (not changing any settings) & the sound magically works again Obviously a software issue, Its only youtube that occasionly stops the sound working. for me . Asus sound card btw.	1101 (13337)
