sent this comp to me in 2008 she said it had sound for her. The speakers are greyed out when i go to check on why i have no sound. There is a selection at the bottom of the first tab that will display whether the device is 'Enabled' or 'Disabled.' Any conflicts will also be given in the form of small exclamation marks.Ĭheck the volume knob on the physical speakers.įor the last 3 years i have tried everything. Audio devices are under 'Sound Video and Game Controllers.' The device will be titled the same as it appeared in the 'Sound and Audio Devices' window in the 'Control Panel.' By double clicking on the device, it will display the properties. Go to 'Start,' 'Control Panel' and 'System,' then select the 'Hardware' tab, then press the 'Device Manager' button. Either of these will cause the sound to not work.Ĭheck 'Device Manager' for improper settings or problems with the device. To check the system for sound devices, go to 'Start,' 'Control Panel' and 'Sound and Audio Devices.' The primary sound device will be shown in the top of this window.Ĭheck the 'Audio Devices' properties window for muted volume or the volume bar set to minimum. If the sound device does not have a disc, contact the manufacturer or download the drivers from the manufacturer's website. If the sound hardware came with an installation disc, insert the CD into the drive and follow the prompts. Install the drivers for the sound device.
