Why won’t my speakers work?

Make sure the speakers are properly connected and the volume is turned up
loud enough to hear sound.

Your speakers may not be designed for computer use.

cable and use the speaker cable that was supplied with the speakers.
❑
You may need to install or reinstall speaker driver software. Use the
Application Recovery CD(s) to reinstall the drivers. See “Using the
Application Recovery CD(s)” for more information.
