Solution
Make sure the label is facing up, then try again.
Make sure the speaker cables are connected
properly and securely.
Check the volume control and turn it up if
necessary.
Make sure mute controls are turned off. To
make sure mute is turned off:
In Windows XP, click Start, then select
Control Panel. Click Sounds, Speech, and
Audio Devices, then Adjust the system
volume. Make sure that the Mute check box
is not selected.
In Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98,
and Windows NT, double-click the speaker
icon in the lower right corner of the taskbar and
make sure that the Master Out, CD Audio,
MIDI, Digital, and Wave Mute check boxes are
not selected.
Connect a set of headphones to the line out
jack to test the output. If they work, replace the
speakers.
Open the computer, then reseat the sound
card. Make sure the cables are connected
properly. Some computers do not have sound
cards because sound capabilities are built into
the system board.
