What should I do if I do not hear sound from the built-in speakers?

If you are using a program that has its own volume control, make sure the volume control is properly set. See the program's help file for more information.

The volume may have been turned off by the Fn+F2 keys or the muting (S1) button. Press the keys or the button once again.

The volume may have been minimized by the Fn+F3 keys. Keep pressing the Fn+F4 keys to turn up the volume loud enough to hear sound.

Check the Windows volume controls by clicking the volume icon on the taskbar.

Your sound output device may have been incorrectly configured. To change the sound output device, see How do I change the sound output device? (page 139).

What should I do if my external speakers do not work?

Check the suggestions in What should I do if I do not hear sound from the built-in speakers? (page 135).

Make sure your speakers are properly connected and the volume is turned up loud enough to hear sound.

Make sure your speakers are designed for computer use.

If your speakers have a muting button, set the button to off.

If your speakers require external power, make sure the speakers are connected to a power source. See the manual that came with your speakers for more information.
