The sound on my gateway m350wvn is not working. When I turn the volume all the way up I hear little 'sound pops' of music (the sound you would hear with a busted speaker but that is all. I also can get sound thru my headphones. Would an external usb soundadapter/soundcard solve my problem?

2003 PC, made, so is XP right???????????????
then you upgraded to W7 and sound is dead sure.

no OS stated, making any easy answer impossible.
yes uSb head phones work it has its own chip and drivers.
yes USB sound dongles work for the same reason as above.

I bet all that is really wrong is the OS was slammed.
came with XP and you upgrade it to w7 and sound is dead.
or new HDD, new W7 and same.
15 years old I bet it didnt run for 15 years, and not get messed up by repairs done wrong.
if still on XP way are you? it is a virus magnet. now,

simple answer yes, if the USB device runs XP , most dont/
but NO OS STATED so no possible accurate answers possible.

SOURCE: Gateway- built-in laptop Speakers not working

Heat dissipation from the unit in the same area of the speaker assembly, especially since you stated that the RIGHT speaker was smoked. Similar problems occur with this design flaw with any manufacturer as HP has the same problem with some of their models.

Your heat exhaust is killing the speaker, and I would also bet that your chipset is AMD and not Intel, the latter having solved it's heat dissipationn problems.

A more aggressive heat dissipation solution on the motherboard or redirection of the exhaust past fewer heat sensitive components would be a design goal.

Seems to me the speaker is just plain broken. You'll need a new one, contact your vendor for repairs, or you will have to live with using external speakers/earpieces...

I hope you will get your replacement,

It may not be the problem of sound card,

SOURCE: Hi, I recently purchased a Gateway NV52u laptop,

Yes, you are having driver issues with the applications that are giving you problems. Did you upgrade your media player yourself or automaticly? There is a 64 bit version for vista to install. I expect that the media player is the application hat pandora is riding on top of as well. A suggestion is to remove media player, and download the 64 bit version and install. If you have the 64 bit version now, it might be corrupt or something. Still remove it and get it again. There are services attached to the media player as well that are enhancements such as things for the mixer and equalizer.. these have to be 64 bit compatible as well.. somewhere you have some either corrupted software and enhancements or ones that are not 64 bit capable.. hope that helps you out (look at enhancements first, then pandora, then MSMP)..
thanks!

Peavey max 115 makes popping sounds but no out put when bass is plugged in

Your amp has two inputs - Passive and Active. Do you get the same results plugging into either one? If only one works, then the other needs reconnection or replacement.

Have external gateway speakers

First make sure your sound cards are working properly. 1) Check the master volume of your PC. Go to start menu, control panel, sounds speech and audio devices, sounds and audio devices - i) In volume tab click the speaker volume and check whether all the left, right, etc.. volumes are in medium or high. ii) In audio tab click the volume tab of sound playback and make sure that the master volume is not in mute and all the volumes are either in medium level or at 100%. After making these changes try playing any music. Even if the problem persists go and get your sound card checked in an authorised service centre.

Thanks & Regards,
Shiva

I have to hit the f1 key to continue the bootup process. Then I get a defective fan error message, but the fan is running, becasue I can hear it.

there may be more than one fan-- there also is a setting in the BIOS to disable the fan warning if you are SURE that the fan it is monitoring is working correctly.

My husband plugged his Philip's system into my laptop

Try using head phones to see if you get sound. If you get sound ur speakers on the laptop are blown, if not it might be the sound circuit. You should check Device Manager to see if ur sound card is showing up or if there is an error on it. If its blown you might not find any sound device or it might be highlighted with an error

Gateway m350wvn sound

R U running XP or vista?
Be sure to make the difference when selecting drivers. Normally the drivers will be in a zip package. Download, unzip and then goto control panel - system and uninstall devices and then "action" scan for changes. This will reinstall the drivers from the unzipped location, ( U may have to tell it where they are). Good Luck

I want my music back!

Have you tried to raise the volume by double clicking on the speaker icon on your taskbar. This will open the play control panel where you can raise the volume.

If you do not see the speaker icon, go into your control panel and chose sounds and audio devices and raise the volume from that screen.

Volume

Hmm... Maybe try removing the battery without turning the player off. I know it sounds crazy, but it resets the player to the default volume settings.

IRiver H10 Wont Turn on

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard
