Resolving Sound Issues

If you don’t have sound from your speakers, check the following:

•Check volume and mute settings.

•Use active, powered speakers, or speakers with an amplifier.

•Verify cable connections.

•Make sure the software program and sound software are configured.

•Some programs may result in low volume, even when the Volume knob is turned to the maximum position. If this is the case, double-click the Volume icon on the taskbar, and increase the volume.

•Reconfigure the sound software for surround sound.

•Reinstall the sound card drivers by using HP or Compaq Application Recovery. See “Application Recovery” in the PC Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide.
