text: Let's start with the basics. The solution is based on a Windows XP operating system.\n\n1) Check to see that the speakers are plugged into the computer correctly. Make sure they are connected to the proper output.\n\n2) Check to see if there is power to the speakers. If your speakers have no power, there's your problem.\n\n3) Open your control panel. Go to Sounds and Audio Devices. Make sure the sounds are not muted. If the mute button is checked, uncheck it.\n\n4) Also, while in Sounds and Audio devices, open the Audio tab. Check to see if there is a default device. Make sure it is the correct one by changing it and testing your system.\n\n5) If that doesn't work, go to the Hardware Tab (also in sounds and Audio) and try the troubleshoot button.\n\n6) Make sure your audio driver is installeed, and up to date.\nIf this doesn't help, please edit the question with more informtion such as if the problem exists onkly when you run certain programs, what operating system you have, what computer you have (make and model), and anything info you can provide.\n\nHope this helps.
