...........what are those
and how do i do that?

[MastaChronic]

ahh, ill try that

Yeah, are you sure it's your speakers, or just your sound card? Troubleshooting is always a good idea, helps you narrow down the problem, makes it easier to fix.

[MastaChronic]

yeah, ive tried some other speakers.
im trying the trouble shoot right now.
updating the driver didnt work.

i'd say it's your sound drivers as well.... if you don't know what a sound driver is... it's the software (if you don't know what THAT is, use an internet encylopedia or something, cuz i can't explain that) your computer uses to process the info your sound card is sending (in the end, makes information so that your output port can reconize and ultimately, your speakers can make noise) what kinda speakers you have (are they just two little speakers that your comp came with, or is it an 'upgrade' and have like multiple speakers, and maybe even a subwoofer?)

name brand, and model number, and i should (although you learned last time not everything can be foudn on the net) be able to help you with finding the correct drivers (which is what i was trying to find for your camera the last time, i just couldn't find anything with your model number...)

3 things will troubleshoot your audio problem:
1. Make sure you are plugged into GREEN receptacle.
2. Make sure your WAVE level is turned up (audio controls).
3. And of course install audio driver -as stated above.

yeah dude, thanks for trying to help.

its just the speakers the comp came with,
did you want to know the sound card im using or the driver s name or what?
sound card:MPU-401 compatible MIDI device
driver: legacy audio drivers
do you need any other info?

well shit, if it's the speakers it came with, you should have no problems at all... is it a headphone type-jack (type of plug most headphones plug in with)? if so, make sure they have power (if there's a seperate power cord) and plug it into a stero or cd player (in the headphone jack) and turn on the device (stero/cd player) and see if they work (assuming everything is plugged into the speakers, if they don't have an additional power plug it should still work) and tell me if works...

if they're the ones that came with the computer, there should be no real problem (unless you installed a new sound card into the computer), so have you installed a new sound card into the comp? (you'd know if you did or not... it's hardware, or 'computer components' if you will..)

stupid question, but they HAVE worked on your comp at one point right? answer these questions and get back to me.

sure have dog, its got a headphone jack and a green light that comes on when theyve got power.
trouble shoot didnt help btwthis isnt a brand new computer, my HD got fried and my mom had a lady she knows replace the hard drive in it.
