Sound issues are very common ones among computer driver problems. What should you do when you can’t hear sound from you computer?
Check a few simple things below:
Is there a sound card on your computer?
Log on as an administrator to perform these steps:
1. Click the Start button to open Device Manager, click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, and then click Device Manager.
2. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are requested for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide the confirmation.
3. Expand the Sound, video and game controllers category. If a sound card is listed, you have one installed. If no, You will need to install one.
Note
If you think you have a sound card installed but you don’t see it under the Sound, video and game controllers category, expand the Other devices category and check any devices listed there.
If there is a yellow question mark next to the name of the sound card, there might be a problem. Right-click the name of the sound card, and then click Properties.
Click the General tab, and then look in the Device status box to identify problems with the sound card.
Is your speakers are plugged into a working power source and turned on?
Is your speakers are correctly connected to the computer?
Find the cable that plugs into your computer on your speakers. Make sure that the speaker cable is plugged into the speakers and the correct jack on the computer.
Is the speaker volume is not muted or turned down to low?
Click the Start button to open Volume Control, click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Adjust system volume under Audio Devices and Sound.
Under Main Volume, move the slider up or down to raise or lower the volume.
Note
Some mobile PCs have an external volume control on the outside of the case. If you're using a mobile PC, check the external volume control.
Are your headphones not plugged into the line out (headphone) jack of your sound card or computer (unless you want to be listening with headphones rather than speakers) ?
If your problems still don’t get solved following the above steps, check the information that came with your computer and speakers or go to the manufacturer's website. Also, y ou can also use a driver update software to help.
