Why do you guys think that whenever I watch a video on my laptop, it mutes after a few moments of playing until I hit the volume buttons on the keyboard again? It only started doing this. Mine, for the purpose of specification is a Dell Inspiron model 1545 whose warranty is expired.

Don't know. Does this also happen when you use headphones with the computer?

Never tried the headphones yet.

If your headphones work fine, this would most likely mean that the 500mW or so amp in the laptop is dying.

Well, even my new headphones didn't fix it; audio muted few moments into playing a song on Youtube.
