A: Check the following:

•The volume may be muted. Look for the Volume icon on the taskbar. If it is crossed-out, click on the icon and deselect the mute option. You can also press the volume control/mute knob on your USB keyboard to toggle the mute function.

•If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to the line-out jack of your computer, the internal or built-in speakers are automatically turned off.

Q: System cannot read floppy disk, hard disk, CD or DVD information.

A: Check the following:

•Make sure you are using the correct type of media.

•Check if the floppy disk is formatted correctly. If not, format it again.
