Can someone tell me how to get rid of background music on my laptop please

swingaloo

Im probably asking the most stupid question but how do I stop the background music playing on my laptop.
If I try to listen to anything on my laptop the background music continues over whatever I am trying to listen to.
If I turn down the speaker volume then I lose all sound. Its probably simplw to do but Im not very 'hight-tec' as you can probably tell:rotfl:

imho

Have you tried doing a scan with http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/
I swear i had the same thing happen to me and after looking on the internet found out it was a virus i had on the laptop.

What background music are you referring to, as it's not a standard feature.

googler

Does the unwanted music only start when you start to listen to something else?

If so, what app are you starting up to listen to the wanted music?

Is the music coming from a web page you have open?

A friend had a similar problem that turned out to be a Mahjong game she was playing via her browser. She used to leave the page open all the time and the music played as you describe.

There was an option on the website to turn it off. It took me a while to realise what the problem was.

imho

What is it with the people that come on here asking for help and then dont come back and say if they have fixed it !
It would help if they came back and say how they got on as it will help others that have the same problem.

I thought I could hear bells till the audiologist told me it was Tinnitus.
