Multimedia Questions
Does audio come standard on my system?
Depending on your system, sound components are installed on the system
board or on an audio board option that you may order from NECC. Refer
to Appendix B, “System Specifications” for information about the
system’s audio features and capabilities.
The sound is no longer working on my computer. What can I
do to get it back?
To enable sound, check hardware as follows:
Check that speaker power is on.
Make sure the cables are properly connected from the speaker to the
computer. See the Quick Setup instructions that come with the system.
Check that the speaker’s AC adapter is plugged into a properly
grounded power source.
If the monitor has a mute button, make sure the button is not on.
Make sure that speaker volume is up. Adjust the volume control on the
speaker or in the sound software. You can also adjust the volume by
clicking on the speaker icon on the right side of the taskbar.
In addition, the Mixer component in the Windows Multimedia sound
software lets you set volume levels for all input and output devices.
The Mixer component displays controls for functions such as balance,
input levels, and equalization. Access the Mixer component by double
clicking on the speaker icon on the right side of the taskbar.
What is MPEG?

basically means viewing movies on the computer.
