Check and see if the volume control icon is set on MUTE. On the bottom right side of the screen is an icon that looks like an oval circling another oval. Hover the mouse over the icon and it should say VOLUME. If this icon says VOLUME (MUTED) then click the icon and click on the MUTE box to remove the check mark. Move the volume bar up and down to make sure you are getting sound.
If this does not fix your problem, then you have a hardware problem. Turn off the computer and check the back of it for your speaker wires. There should be a pink colored jack where the speakers plug into. Find the wires to the speakers and see if they go to that jack. Pull out then plug in the jack and see if you get sound. Test by moving that Windows volume control bar I described in the paragraph above.
If your speaker wires are correctly plugged into the computer then the on/ off switch is off or speaker volume control knob is turned down. My control is part of the Woofer control, some speakers have an on/ off button and volume control on one of the speakers. See if you have a similar situation and turn the on/ off switch and/or turn the volume control up and down.
If you do not have a volume control and switch for your speakers then you have either a burned out sound card or, worse, the sound is part of the motherboard and you have a bad board. This will require replacement. Replacing the sound card is easy. Turn off the computer, disconnect all wires, open the case and remove the sound card. This card has several colored plugs on a card that plugs into the computer’s motherboard. There is a single screw holding the card in. Remove the screw and gently, but FIRMLY, pull the card out. Put in a new sound card, turn on the computer and run the CD that came with the card to install the drivers.
If you do not have a sound card then your motherboard is bad. Most people live with a “deaf” computer. You can try to put in a sound card, be sure to print out the CD’s instructions when it explains how to disconnect the previous sound drivers and disable the motherboard sound system. The last alternative is to take the computer to a repair shop.
I sincerely hope that you find the problem before you reach paragraph 4. Most people usually find that they inadvertently got to the volume control and muted it or somehow they hit and knocked out the speaker plug. Happy Hunting and Good Luck.
