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 145).

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 141).
❑Make sure your speakers are properly connected and the volume is turned up loud enough to hea r 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.
