SOUND

[MoNgOhAtEsWiNtEr]

i JUST SET UP A NEW DESKTOP WITH WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION...
I CHECKED EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF, BUT I CAN'T GET ANY SOUND.
I KNOW THAT THE MONITOR SPEAKERS WORK BECAUSE IT WAS SET UP WITH A PREVIOUS
COMPUTER & IT WORKED FINE.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED...

Check to make sure you have the little cable that goes from the monitor into
the back of the computer for your sound card. Easily overlooked.

First try looking in "sounds and audio device properties" and making sure
you have the sound up and your sound card ticked. Make sure you don't have
haedphones attached.
look at the bottom right of your screen for an icon of a speaker and click
it to access "sounds and audio device properties" or follow "Start/control
panel/sounds and audio device properties.

Check all cabling and inputs again also.
