About sound
My speakers are not producing any sound
If you are using an application that has its own volume control, check that the volume is turned up.


Check the volume controls in Windows


If you are using external speakers, check that the speakers are plugged into the headphones connector


and the volume is turned up. If the speakers have a mute button, make sure it is off. If batteries power
the speakers, check that the batteries are inserted properly and that they are charged.
