Sound isn't working

Jdeadevil · 03-05-2008, 09:03 AM

Hey people, just having a problem with my sound and I don't know if it's a software problem or a hardware problem.

The speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner isn't on mute and the sound is on quite high, the monitor's volume itself is ok, infact it's at 100. It works ok when I put in headphones or erephones (or whatever they're called, like what you use with an MP3 player).

The only time it's ever restored itself is when it suddenly muted when my pulled my erephones (?) out. It suddenly started working again ages later on it's own. But it didn't do that again for days after.

As you may have guessed, I have my speakers inside my monitor. I really don't know what the problem is.

Try to right click on the sound icon on the bottom right corner, then try to choose Sound.

Try to choose the Speakers, and then click on the Set Default. See whether it is working now?

Lol it didn't let me click on Set Default

You cannot click on Set Default? Is there is a green checkmark on the Speakers?

Are you using the HDMI cable or just a normal audio connector? Can I know what else is the options on Playback Devices other than the Speakers?

It's okay, I figured out the monitor itself was on Mute, oh my god how stupid am I sometimes?

So it was the monitor which was muted after all

Glad to hear you managed to find it though
