Speakers
What should I do if my speakers do not work?
❑
Make sure your speakers are properly connected and the volume is turned up loud enough to hear sound.
❑
Make sure your speakers are designed for computer use.
❑
If your speakers have a muting button, set the button to off.
❑
If you have connected an audio cable to the headphones jack, disconnect the cable and use the speaker cable supplied
with your speakers.
❑
If you are using battery power, make sure the battery pack is installed properly and is charged.
❑
If your speakers require external power, make sure the speakers are connected to a power source. See the manual that
came with your speakers for more information.
