No sound

[Guest]

Turned the pc on this morning to listen to some music and no sound was coming
out, am I missing something really simple here or could there be a major
problem

Not knowing anything about your computer or what you might have been doing
last, it is hard to say.

Probably simple - is the cable for the speakers plugged in
to the correct receptacle on the back of the computer ?
There can be 3 or 4 plugs that are the same size (mini-
phono) where the speakers plug in on the back of the
computer. Maybe someone accidentally unplugged the
speakers and then re-connected them to the wrong
receptacle.

Have you checked the volume - both in Windows and on the
speakers themselves - to be sure the volume isn't turned
down to the minimal level ? Or double-click on the
speaker icon next to the clock (lower-right) and be sure
the sound hasn't been muted for the device that's not
functioning.

Does ANY sound work ? Do the WAV files work (when
starting and closing Windows) ? If they do and the CD-ROM
sounds do NOT work, it's a cable inside the computer
between the CD-ROM and the sound card that's causing the
problem.

Are the speakers plugged in to a working power plug ? On
some speakers, if they're not getting power, they won't
work. Be sure there's an LED lit on the speakers.

Good Luck, let us know !

Thanks MGGP, like you said, it was simple. The cable had fallen out of the
speaker socket and had been put into the headphone socket.

Thanks again
