General Tech Discussion, News & Q&A / Random Audio on my laptop
« Last post by KRO on May 02, 2025, 14:53 »Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with this, I watch hours of fishing video's and catch up tv on my laptop but I keep getting random music / adverts playing over whatever I'm watching, which can often drown out whatever I am watching so I end up pausing it until the sound stops, which is most annoying (as I've put up with this for ages now) 
Can anyone suggest a simple solution to this please ?
many TIA Keith

I broke up with my girlfriend Lorraine because I was seeing another girl named Claire Lee.
But the good news is that I can see Claire Lee now Lorraine has gone.

The Buzz / The Alarm singer Mike Peters dies aged 66
« Last post by Simon on April 29, 2025, 13:05 »Mike Peters, front man of Welsh rockers The Alarm and a long-standing cancer campaigner and fundraiser, has died aged 66.
His band was formed in 1981 in Rhyl, Denbighshire, out of the punk era and had a top 20 hit, Sixty Eight Guns, two years later.
It typified an anthemic style of song but their unpretentious and down-to-earth approach earned loyal followings on both sides of the Atlantic.
Peters lived with blood cancer for 30 years, following his diagnosis of lymphoma in 1995, and later having chronic lymphocytic leukaemia twice.
He was born in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, and lived in Dyserth with his wife of 39 years, Jules - who had fought her own cancer battle - and their sons Dylan, 20 and Evan, 18.
He was awarded the MBE in 2019 for his services to cancer care.
Peters - who had worked in the computer department for Kwik Save supermarket - had started a band The Toilets in Rhyl in 1977, after seeing the Sex Pistols play in Chester.
After various changes of line-up, notably the introduction of guitarist Dave Sharp, and changes of name, The Alarm played their first gig in Prestatyn in 1981.
They would go on to sell an estimated five million records and also become the first Welsh musicians since Tom Jones and Bonnie Tyler to crack America.
