Resolving Sound Issues
If you don’t have sound from your speakers, check
the following:
■ Check volume and mute settings. See
“Adjusting the Volume” on page 55.
■ Verify sound cable connections.
■ Reinstall the sound card drivers by using
HP Application Recovery. See “Application
Recovery” in the Warranty and Support
Guide.
■ Reconfigure the sound software for
surround sound.
■ Use active, powered speakers, or speakers
with an amplifier.
■ Some programs may result in low volume,
even when the volume knob is turned to the
maximum position. If this is the case,
double-click the Volume icon on the taskbar
and increase volume.
