Resolving Sound Issues
If you don’t have sound from your speakers, check the following:
• Check volume and mute settings.
• Use active, powered speakers, or speakers with an amplifier.
• Verify cable connections.
• Make sure the software program and sound software are configured.
• 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 the volume.
• Reconfigure the sound software for surround sound.
• Reinstall the sound card drivers by using HP or Compaq Application Recovery.

Guide.
