Let's start from the basics and go through the set-up.
Are you connected via HDMI? Sound should go through this connection but it could depend on your computer's output.
Are you connected via VGA (blue connector) or DVI (white connector)? These need a separate audio lead to hook up the speakers to the computer's output.
If these are ok, is the volume on the monitor up and also in the computer's sound settings? Feed the volume at full from the computer and use the monitor volume to adjust the sound levels.
Is it for all sound or specific programs that don't have sound? Check the volume mixer settings for each program running to adjust the volume for these items.
Personally I have never heard any speaks that were built into a monitor that did not sound like ****. You might be able to find some software like an equalizer that you could manipulate the sound, but don't think you will be happy with it no matter what you do.
I solved the same problem buy going to Big Lots and buying a set of external speakers for $10 that has a AC power supply and they sound much much better than the monitor speakers.
Walmart also carries external speakers but costs a bit more.
The problem may stem from not having the monitor's speaker system if it has one, hooked up to the output of the sound card on the computer.
Also, if it has an adjustment for volume, make sure it's not turned down to zero volume, and also make sure it isn't set on mute, if it has such a setting.
Most monitors do not have sound on them and many computers require external computer speakers in lieu of sound coming out of a monitor.
Only 2 things i can think of. U have not got your Monitor speakers pugged in. There should be a Output connector (Big blue sided cable) the Power connector (the black one, with one side has 3 holes in one side, and same with the other side. Then a small connector (for the monitor, looks like how you would plug in headphones to a small device. Also make sure the volume's up. Or you've blown your speakers, and will need seperate speakers, or a new monitor.
if using XP, go to start control panel , sound and audio devices.Under the audio tab make sure the C Media CM106 sound device is selected under sound playback. Then under the volume tab set the volume somewhere in the middle or at the top if you don;t have active speakers . Then Under Speaker settings advanced, make sure the speaker setup is set to Laptop Stereo speakers. Also make sure the speaker volumes are up on the speaker volume button. click ok. If no result check that the cm106 sound decvice was cemented in as I saw it dissaper when I thought i had slected it. I think the key thing here is the device and the laptop speakers setting.
Make sure the speaker wire to the computer is to the lime green plug on the computer and power to speakers and make sure volume control on the computer is not muted
Most monitors do not have built in speakers and the ones that do have them are usually of fair quality. Look for speaker grills under your monitor's screen. Didn't find speaker grills? You can buy computer speakers at a computer store or at Walmart. Your computer, desktop or laptop, has a green jack that you plug a set of speakers into. The volume control may be on the speakers or on your keyboard.
I was afraid of that. The speaker system is only half in the monitor the other part(Amplifier section) was in your old computer. Here is a possible solution. Buy an external sound /speaker system. The amplifier comes with it and many can be had at a reasonable cost at **** places as Walmart , target ,etc. Sorry. but the speakers on
your monitor, I believe , will not work with you new computer. Sorry.
On the back of your set there are 2 switches that tell the tv whether you are using the internal speakers or the external speakers.
Make sure the switches are set to internal so the speakers in the TV receive the sound signals. If they're set to internal maybe the internal speakers are bad. Set the switches to external and hook up external speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of the TV. If neither setup works then it sounds like an output transistor or related parts.
Hi Lescot,
Did you re-installed it with XP deafult driver? if so, this is it!
