First responder: Well I like to mute Windows sounds from the control panel so that while I listen to music streamed from my computer I can use the computer and not have to listen to distraction computer noises.

Second responder: If you would go down to the speaker icon in your system tray, you will see the word "Mixer" under the slider. Clicking the mixer will bring up a window which gives a slider to each of your open applications. One of these will be the Windows Sounds, which you can mute independently of all other open applications. This is fairly useful for someone who doesn't want to hear Microsoft's OS yelling at them when something horrible happens, but still wants to hear iTunes.

How do I get the sound output from home theater while watching normal TV Is it possible to get the sound output from both at the same time. Ii tried using a 3.5 mm jack but it didn't help?

I can't help you with the connections with just the info provided but I can tell you that you should not have the TV's speakers on at the same time while listening to the sound system speakers. I would mute the TV's speakers (go to the audio menu and turn the internal speakers off) and always use the sound system speakers.


Is mute a preposition?

No, "mute" is not a preposition. In the context of communication or sound, "mute" is an adjective or verb, not a preposition.


Is there a way to manually mute certain speakers in a situation with a defective headphone plug in where sound comes out of both headphones and built in laptop speakers?

Nope - if your sound is coming from both the headphones and the built-in speakers, it's your headphone socket in the laptop - not the plug that's at fault ! Basically an audio socket is a switch. While no external speakers (ie headphones) are connected, its internal components direct the sound to the computer's built-in speakers. Inserting a plug into the socket breaks the connection to the internal speaker circuitry, and directs the sound to the headphones.
