Resolving Sound Issues

If you do not have sound from your speakers, try the following:
Check the volume and mute settings. See "Using Headphones" on page 43.
Use active (powered) speakers, or speakers with an amplifier.
Check the sound cable connections.
Ensure that the software program and sound software are properly configured.
Some software programs may result in low volume, even when the Volume is turned to
the maximum value. If this is the case, click the Volume icon on the taskbar, and
increase the system volume.
Reconfigure the sound software for surround sound.
Reinstall the sound card drivers by using application reinstallation program; refer to
your Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide that came with your computer.
