Do you have headphones? Could you try plugging them in the headphone jack and seeing if there's any sound coming from them? That might narrow down the list of potential problems

Have sound on headphone xx

Loud and clear .. Anita Ward - Ring my Bell .. lol x

[Stephanie]

sounds like someone did touch it tbh. v odd. have you tried turning it off and on again? and fully unplugging it

Not a chance . I have the only key to my apt .

It was off for a month , just turned it on today . Will try the unplug thing though xx

Go into your Control Panel through the Start button or windows button your keyboard and have a look at the settings.

Will do soon as I'm back at it . Now gotta run get nails xx just back in town , gotta get pretty xx

Is there a cable from the wall to the speakers and from the speakers to the pc?

No x it's the laptop that is actually not making a sound . There are no additional speakers .

Ok several things you can try . Look for switch on laptop could be on side or front of laptop . Try turning it it or click the switch . Second thing . Right click speakers down bottom right corner of screen and click on volume controll options or speaker controll options make sure boxs are ticked for correct hardware ie all devices currently play sound etc . If that dont work let me know more trickier stuff to do then

First thing I did was check Speaker Setting in lower right . It's on Max . xx

It's prob gonna be something really simple .. x

.... Seriously I hope you got your problem fixed, if not your in the right place for help

Ok, I presume you've done the obvious like turning the sound up via the little speaker icon bottom right of your taskbar, I'm not sure but does your laptop have a dial on the side also for volume control some do, make sure it also is turned up, then go to the little speaker icon, right click your mouse over it, select playback devices and ensure speakers are selected and not HDMI output or any other devices that may be listed in there, check that speakers are set to default, you can also click speakers, then on configure, choose stereo of all the options and click test, if all above fails you could try uninstalling you sound card drivers and re-installing them but we'll get over that problem if all the other options don't work

I had something similar once when I left my laptop for a few weeks. It wouldn't play sound, even with headphones or speakers plugged in separate from the ones in the laptop. I got annoyed and shut up down. Tried it again an hour later and it suddenly worked. Don't know what did it, but it was fine again.



It works sometimes Worth a shot, anyway

That's exactly what I was going to suggest! Try doing a restart and see if that sorts it.

As anon said see video. Also switch in headphone jack can get stuck, try plugging in headphones at different speeds several times to see if it will release internal switch.



Welcome back btw

Ah I saw the above and forgot you said laptop. Try your control panel and see what the settings are anyway.
