i hope this is in the correct sub-forum, and shouldnt be in the laptop sub forum. anyway, the problem…
im on an intel HD audio sound chipset, and the internal speakers work 100% perfect.
when i plug in external speakers/headphones, then the volume control works fine, and the internal speakers are also correctly muted. however if i mute the audio with the laptop mute button, then nothing happens.
the laptop has LED lit buttons so i know when it’s mute/unmuted. its status changes fine. it just doesnt have any affect when external speakers are connected.
