Getting Started (features vary by model)

Resolving sound issues

If you do not have sound from the speakers, try the following:

Check the volume and mute settings. See “Connecting Headphones.”

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 audio card drivers by using application reinstallation program; refer to 
the 

Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide

 that came with the computer.
