Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop 5150...I've been experiencing problems with my audio (speakers)..When I boot up every morning, my speakers work fine..but after about 30 minutes..I get no sound out of my speakers at all...When I plug in my headphones I do get sound..but not out of my speakers...

Then I'll reboot....and guess what?...My laptop speakers work again for about 20 to 30 minutes..After that..they die and I'm without sound..
I bewildered..I've done virus and spyware checks..Everything seems fine...

Can anyone out there help me?
Thanks..
Henri

It is the actual hardware that is most probably the culprit, as i don't think it is a driver issue and i doubt malware has anything to do with mucking up sound in that way.

Have you by any chance dropped the laptop or spilled some sort on liquid on it? I know i have don both and it has lead me to a similar predicament where my screen would go blank every now and again after a while.
