Tutorial #1:
Listed below are some basic steps to help restore sound to your computer. This troubleshooting guide assumes that your computer has no sound at all.
1. If you have Windows XP or Windows Me, use the System Restore feature to return the computer back to a time before the issue began.
Using System Restore
2. If you added hardware or software to your computer immediately before the issue started, remove the added hardware or software. Be sure to turn off the computer before removing hardware. As with any problem that arises with computers, reversing a process that started a problem may correct the problem.
3. Be sure to check the obvious:
* Are the speakers turned on and have power?
* Try unplugging the speaker power adapter and keep it disconnected for 30 seconds or so, then plug it back in.
* Try plugging a known working item (such as a lamp) to check the wall outlet for power.
4. Check to insure that the Mixer Control volumes are set to 3/4 volume and are not muted. Analog or digital can be set in the Mixer Controls, depending on the type of sound card and speakers used.
5. Make sure that all connections to all speakers are fully seated. Usually, these plugs click twice before the fully seat.
6. Try plugging in a known working set of head phones to ensure that the sound card is functioning.
7. Try plugging in the speakers to a known working portable CD player that will accept the same connection. This will determine if the speakers are working.
8. Go to: Start>> Control Panel>> Administrative Tools>> Component Services>> Services. Make sure audio is enabled.
9. Go to: Start>> Control Panel>> Administrative Tools>> Services>> Windows Audio. Make sure "Windows Media" service is running. If it's not, right click on this service and select "Start".
10. Go to: Start>> Control Panel>> Sounds and Audio Device Properties. Be sure that the "Mute" checkbox is unchecked.
Update Software:
Many sound problems are resolved simply by downloading the latest version of the Windows Media Player and/or Internet Explorer directly from Microsoft to use as a baseline test.
If you are using Microsoft Media Player, it may be useful to check for any recent updates. To do that, just start the Media Player, click on "Help", then click on "Check for Player Updates..", and it will automatically download any updates.
Or, you can download the latest Microsoft Windows Media Player for both PCs and Mac for free from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/player.aspx
Also, since old versions of web browsers may have limitations or problems, check for any web browser updates, and upgrade to the latest version of your web browser. For Microsoft products, the current status of your software can be verified by the Windows Update web site at:
