This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD
screens. Gateway's inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to
identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
Make sure that the speaker bar power cord is plugged into the power connector on the back
of your monitor, and that the monitor is plugged into an AC power outlet.
If you are not using HDMI audio, make sure that the speaker bar's headphone plug (green)
is plugged into the headphone jack on your computer.
If you are using HDMI audio, you must set your device to output audio in PCM mode. See
the user guide that came with your device for more information.
If you just finished installing and connecting the speaker bar, restart your monitor so that
it can recognize the new speaker bar.
Make sure that the volume is turned up.
Make sure that headphones are not plugged into the headphone jacks on the sides of the
speaker bar. When headphones are connected, no sound comes out of the speaker bar's
speakers.
