No+Sound-Speakers+won't+work

No sound is coming from my speakers. How do I fix it?


 * Internal Computer Speakers**

1. Check to make sure the green cord from your monitor is plugged into the green slot on the back of the CPU. 2. Check on the right side of the monitor to make sure the speakers are turned on. 3. Check the settings by clicking on the speaker icon in the system tray, which is located at the lower right side of the screen. Check the volume and mute settings. If any of the mute check boxes have been checked, uncheck them.


 * External Speakers**

1. Check to make sure the green ended cord from the external speakers is plugged into the green slot on the back of the CPU. Some external speakers also have a power cord. Check to make sure it is plugged in both ends as well. Turn the speakers on, usually they have a push button control or a dial type button that turns clockwise. 2. Check the settings by clicking on the speaker icon in the system tray, which is located at the lower right side of the screen. Check the volume and mute settings. If any of the mute check boxes have been checked, uncheck them. 3. Verify the lack of sound is not due to faulty connections. A simple way to test is to substitute the speaker connection with headphones and see if sound comes from the headphones.
