About sound
My speakers are not producing sound
If you are using an application that has its own volume control, check that the volume is turned up.
Check the volume controls in Windows
®
and in Windows
®
Media Player.
If you are using external speakers, check that the speakers are plugged into the headphones connector
and the volume is turned up. If the speakers have a mute button, make sure it is off. If batteries power
the speakers, check that the batteries are inserted properly and that they are charged.
My microphone does not work
Check that your external microphone is plugged into the microphone connector correctly.
My microphone is too sensitive to background noise
If you find there is too much background noise when you record sound, you can adjust the microphone gain.
