i know i look stupid as hell right now but, i dont care


i changed my office around... in doing so, i have somehow made it so my speakers came back on (they havent been working for about 2-3 weeks now). but now, even though they are on, i cant hear anything

so, what gives ????


and ya know that lil speaker thingy in the bottom right hand corner ??? its missing - who stole it ????


im really pissed, i got some music i wanna hear please help....

plug a pair of headphones into the jack that you plug the speaker cord into. works for me.

k, sounds like a great idea... but, i think the system is on 'mute'.. so that wouldnt solve the problem

i forgot where to go to see if its on 'mute'

i wanna hear my music

Hi NPP!

I have no idea how to help you, just thought I would say hello.

thanks blues

and i BET youre listening to music now, arent you ????

Have a look at the bottom of your screen and you should see a icon of a speaker. Double click on that and it will bring up the sound levels. You can then uncheck the mute function.

althom said:

yeah, i know that part... but, the lil icon is gone

where did it go ? or who took it ?????

nakedpianoplayer said:

Look in "My Computer". You should find a folder called "control panel". Double click on this and find a folder called "sounds".

althom said:

ok, im not trying to be silly here, but, i did that, and what i got was a folder that tells me what sounds i want the computer to make when certain things happen, not how to change the actual sound controls on my computer

please help althom call it a Christmas gift to me if ya like

nakedpianoplayer said:

OK!
Go to "start". hold down and open up the task bar. Look for "find". This will open up a search box to find files on the computer. Type in "volume control" and click search. It may bring up a whole lot of stuff, but look through them and see a file that actually says "volume control". Double click on this and that should bring up the speaker volume control.

um no. I just finished my funeral eulogy.

althom said:

ok, that worked... i found it, but they dont seem to be on 'mute'


damn it... what is going on around here

any other ideas ?

nakedpianoplayer said:

Your speaker might be pluged into the wrong hole or not switched on. lol

LMAO!

althom said:

im gonna say that really shouldnt be it.... but, just to be safe, i will check, i was plugging things in in the dark, so, i guess it COULD HAVE happened....

i'll go check again

nakedpianoplayer said:

An easy way to check is pop in a cd and let it run while you move the plug around.

althom said:

yup, i did that

its plugged in right still no sound....

nakedpianoplayer said:

I'd say your speakers are busted. You can get cheap speaker now days from anywhere. But I would first pop in some headphones to see if that works. If it does...then it's the speakers.

ok, i'll do that

thanks for trying, i was beginning to think i was losing my mind trying to figure this mess out...

thank you again

nakedpianoplayer said:

No worries!

one more thing though...

dont most computers have some sort of internal sound ?? like, shouldnt i hear something in there ? you know, a start up of some kind ?????


just a question, cuz, i have absolutely NO sound whatsoever

althom said:

Ur sending her on a wild goose chase aren't ya

No!

Also, make sure all sound levels are turned up especially Volume Control and Wave.

You may have an issue with the sound card itself. If you're using Windows XP, go to "Control Panel", then click on the icon for "System", go to the "Hardware" tab, click on the "Device Manager" button, and check the sound controller devices to make sure they all state that they are functioning normally.
