Re: please help no sound on my laptop

If you are running XP go to the sound properties and see if it is muted.

Re: please help no sound on my laptop

Hello,

Check device manager to make sure that your audio driver is properly installed. If you need help doing that let us know.

Eric

Re: please help no sound on my laptop

Is the sound working in other programs? What are you trying to play in WMP?

Re: please help no sound on my laptop

In the device manager under sound, can you tell me what it listed? Also, can you give me the model # or serial # to this laptop?
Thanks,
Bill

boogie99,
Try hitting >Fn>END. this maybe the switch to disable the internal speakers
There are other fn key to control the speakers also. Here is a link for the owners manual for this laptop:

Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Bill

Re: please help no sound on my laptop

I have this same problem. Everything looks good in device manager. I uninstalled an reinstalled the drivers for the audio device and yet still... no sound. The speakers are fine. Not blown out. I have no idea whats doing this.
