•Reseat all speaker connections and make sure they are inserted fully. Verify that the audio jacks are not bent or broken.
•Verify that the speakers and/or subwoofer are turned on and are connected to a known good power source.
•Turn up the volume knob on the speakers. If the audio is distorted, make sure that the volume is not turned to its maximum setting. Adjust the treble and/or bass if the sound is distorted.
•Turn up the volume by clicking the yellow speaker icon in the Windows taskbar and adjusting the volume setting.
