To rule out these problems, use a reliable registry tool, such as RegServe to perform a thorough registry scan and clean up. The first thing you need to ensure is that your computer has a sound card installed on it.
To do this, click Start button, and then in the Start Search box, type Device. Next, select Device Manager from the Programs list. In the Device Manager window, check Sound, video and game controllers category to see if an entry for a sound card is there.
Many times, sound cards are displayed in the Other devices category so you must check this also to see if your sound card is listed there. Many computers, especially laptops and notebooks come with built in speakers. However, at times, you may want to use external speakers for better sound quality.
Very simple mistakes may cause problems and prevent you from making the speakers work. So, the following are a few simple things that you need to do to ensure that your speakers are working fine and the sound output through them is good: Ensure that your speakers are connected to the power source and are switched on.
A simple task, but a task that many users often forget. Ensure that the speakers are plugged into the correct slots on your computer. Many computers provide a sound card jack in the front to make the PCs more user-friendly.
Also, check that all connectors are properly seated in their sockets. If they are not inserted properly, you may hear noise in the sound output.
Make sure all cords and cables are plugged in. If you have multiple 5mm jacks to plug into, especially on a surround sound system, make sure all cords and cables are plugged into the correct jack. Note : Some systems use a green jack for output and pink for mic input and others will be labeled "headphone" or "microphone. It's possible that your speakers won't work when your headphones are plugged in. Unplug your headphones and see if that helps. Right-click the Speakers icon on the taskbar, and then select Open Volume mixer.
Make sure none of them are muted. In that case, select the volume control to unmute. Check your device properties to make sure that your devices have not been disabled by mistake. Select your audio device, and then select Device properties. Be sure to select Device properties for both the output and input devices.
Make sure the Disable check box is cleared for the output and input devices. Hardware problems can be caused by outdated or malfunctioning drivers. Make sure your audio driver is up to date and update it if needed. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the audio driver it will reinstall automatically. If that doesn't work, try using the generic audio driver that comes with Windows.
If you're having audio issues after installing updates, try rolling back your audio driver. In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager , then select it from the results. Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, such as headphones or speakers, select Update driver , then select Search automatically for updated driver software.
Follow the instructions to complete the update. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow those instructions. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling your audio driver. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, select Uninstall device , select the Delete the driver software for this device check box, and then select Uninstall.
Note: Be sure to save documents and any other current work before you restart. Select the audio device whose driver you want to update, select Next , and then follow the instructions to install it. Following is an example of a driver download page for a sound device manufacturer.
Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, then select Properties. Select the Driver tab, then select Roll Back Driver.
Read and follow the instructions and then select Yes if you want to roll back your audio driver. If rolling back your audio driver didn't work or wasn't an option, you can try to restore your PC from a system restore point. When Microsoft installs updates on your system, we create a system restore point in case problems arise.
Try restoring from that point and see if that fixes your sound problems. For more info, see "Restore from a system restore point" in Recovery options in Windows If you're connecting to an audio device—such as headphones or speakers—using USB or HDMI, you might need to set that device as the default audio device.
You can check that when you set your default output audio device. In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel , then select it from the results. On the Playback tab, right-click the listing for your audio device, select Set as Default Device , and then select OK.
If setting your audio device as the default device doesn't help, continue to the next tip for additional troubleshooting. Sometimes having audio enhancements on can result in audio issues. Disabling them may resolve your issue. On the Playback tab, right-click the Default Device , and then select Properties. On the Enhancements tab, select either the Disable all enhancements or the Disable all sound effects check box depending on which option you see , select OK , and try to play your audio device.
If that doesn't work, on the Playback tab, select another default device if you have one , select either the Disable all enhancements or the Disable all sound effects check box depending on which option you see , select OK , and try to play audio again.
Do this for each default device. If turning off audio enhancements doesn't help, see the next sections for additional troubleshooting.
