Disconnect headphones from the headphone connector:

Sound from the speakers is automatically disabled when headphones are connected to the headphone connector.

Test the electrical outlet:

Ensure that the electrical outlet is working by testing it with another device, such as a lamp.

Reinstall the audio driver

Run the PSA Diagnostics

NOTE: The volume control in some MP3 players overrides the Windows volume setting. If you have been listening to MP3 songs, ensure that you did not turn the player volume down or off.
