I bought a HP Pavilion DV6 Entertainment PC for Christmas last year and right away, it had sound issues. It took me many hours to fix it after copious research on the internet, but once I did, I had no further problems until this morning.
I opened the computer and the sound was flickering on and off. It continued to do so while I used my computer. I tried pressing the mute button to see if turning the sound on and off would work, and no such luck. Sometimes it would stop flickering and the sound would be fine for a little while (a few minutes) before the flickering resumed. Now I have no sound at all, and even stranger, when I press the mute button on my laptop itself, it turns the sound on on the computer (with the little sound icon in the bottom right corner, on my taskbar) and when I turn the sound back on on the computer, it turns the sound off on my volume icon on my taskbar. Does anybody know how to resolve this? I'm not a patient or tech savvy person so I'm on the verge of throwing my laptop out of my window.
