CANT FIND A EXTERNAL SPEAKER SET

before attempting that:

Look in set menu to see if speakers are switched ON or OFF.

Check on SET and a Box if used that sound is not turned off or low.

If set has hookup for external speakers is external or internal selected.

Does the set have sound when a DVD etc. is connected via one of the rear sets of audio/video input jacks?

I have a thinkpad T41 laptop loaded with windows xp. but the sound is not working though i can access the volume controls adjust them. any way the volume control is active but sound is not working. can you...

Go to the Control Panel - find the "sound" icon and select it. Find the Properties Button (area) and update the sound driver. If this does not work, please let me know and I"ll send you instructions on how to "calibrate", "test", and enable your speakers. Also, let me know if you have external speakers, or if you're just using the built in laptop speakers.

Output from my thinkpad x40 is balanced (left-right) through the built-in speakers, but only the left channel can be heard when external speakers are plugged in.

As you said your internal speakers are OK, then may be the problem with the external speaker. Check with another set of external speaker. if works fine then check your previous external speakers connection. if still no sound the neeed to check the motherboard.

Thinkpad T41 with XP-sp3: No sound / working fine until yesterday

Hi. Try plugging in an external speaker just to test the issue. It could be just the speaker of the laptop is having the problem. If you were able to hear the sound from the external speaker then the problem is the built in speaker of the computer. If there is no sound coming out to external speakers. Try to reinstall the driver of your soundcard.

IBM thinkpad type 2647 - after installing external

Go to control panel / sounds / audio, and see if the boxes have greyed out writing, if so then the driver needs reloading, if they are all good check all settings.

Meant to ask if volume control icon is showing in the right lower task bar.

IMB T42 Laptop Sound card quality is really poor what up grades

It's probably _not_ the soundcard (chipset), but the teeny little
crummy speakers built into the T42. On a thin, light laptop the manufacturers have to make some compromises, and one of them is that they give you miniature speakers that aren't much good for music reproduction.

The fix: either uses earphones or plug in external speakers into
the earphone jack. You can get pretty good, pretty cheap external speakers that give you fine sound.

Sound issues

You need to check that all the speakers wires are connected! It might be due to improper connections! This cause an resistance! And hence due to this the sound may be less or distorted. Check all the connections!
