How to fix no sound on Dell E173FP - 17" LCD?

  If there is no sound on your Dell Monitor, there could be a couple of reasons. First, check if the Soundbar has power. Ensure the power indicator is on. If it's off, turn the Power/Volume knob clockwise to the middle position and see if the green LED illuminates. If the Soundbar has power, make sure the audio line-in cable is properly plugged into the computer's audio out jack. Also, set all Windows volume controls to their maximum. Try playing audio content and increase the Soundbar volume. You may also want to clean and reseat the audio line-in plug. Testing the Soundbar with another audio source can also help.

  Gregory LaraAug 10, 2025
  Distorted sound on your Dell Monitor can occur for a few reasons. If you're using the computer's sound card as the audio source, clear any obstructions around the Soundbar. Confirm that the audio line-in plug is fully inserted into the sound card jack. Set all Windows volume controls to their midpoints and decrease the volume of the audio application. Also, turn the Power/Volume knob on the Soundbar counter-clockwise to lower the volume. Cleaning and reseating the audio line-in plug may also help. If you're using another audio source, make sure the audio line-in plug is completely inserted into the jack of the audio source and decrease the volume of the audio source.

  Michael HunterAug 17, 2025
  If you're experiencing unbalanced sound output on your Dell Monitor, with sound coming from only one side of the Soundbar, first check for any obstructions around the Soundbar. Confirm that the audio line-in plug is fully inserted into the jack of the sound card or audio source. Set all Windows audio balance controls (L-R) to their midpoints. Cleaning and reseating the audio line-in plug may also resolve the issue. You can also troubleshoot the computer's sound card or test the Soundbar with another audio source.
