Troubleshooting
Speakers
What should I do if my external speakers do not work?
❑
If you are using a program that has its own volume control, make sure the volume control is properly set. See the
program's help file for more information.
❑
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.
❑
The volume may have been turned off by the
Fn
+
F2
keys or the muting (S1) button. Press the keys or the button once
again.
❑
The volume may have been minimized by the
Fn
+
F3
keys. Keep pressing the
Fn
+
F4
keys to turn up the volume loud
enough to hear sound.
❑
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.
❑
Check the Windows volume controls by clicking the volume icon on the taskbar.
❑
Your sound output device may have been incorrectly configured. To change the sound output device, see
