20 Most Recent Dell AY410 Multimedia Speaker System - Page 7 Questions & Answers

speakers do not register themselves as a device. The interface to the speakers is the sound card. Whether this is an add-on module or part of the motherboard, you need sound drivers for it. Make sure you have these installed. You can search for new hardware to get this done automatically. I would recommend Uniblue software which you can download from the internet if you can't get this working. Make sure you back up all your drivers before overwriting any by new ones.

Check your hardware device manager.

To access Device Manager, go to Start | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | System | Device Manager (Device Manager is located under "Tasks" in the left hand column of the "System" menu). A list of hardware will display like the one shown below.

Hardware you expect to find is not listed If you cannot find the hardware you expect to find, it is likely the hardware is installed incorrectly. You should power down your computer and locate the physical hardware on your computer. Verify it is installed correctly, and restart your computer. Once you have restarted your computer, Windows should automatically recognize the hardware and go through an installation process. You may be asked to provide drivers during this installation.
If you verify that the hardware is installed correctly but still does not appear in Device Manager, please contact the DoIT Help Desk.
A yellow exclamation mark appears next to your hardware A yellow exclamation mark next to your hardware means the device is recognized by Windows but is not working properly. This usually indicates a driver problem. Update your drivers by following the directions below.

1. Right-click on the hardware and choose Properties.
2. Click on the Driver tab.
3. Click on Update Driver....
4. Click on Search automatically for updated driver software.
5. Windows will automatically look for updated drivers for your hardware. If unable to find any, you will need to go the hardware manufacturer's website and download new drivers.

A red X appears next to your hardware A red X indicates that the hardware is disabled. Right-click on the hardware and click Enable. Your hardware should no longer have a red X.
If you are still having problems with hardware after you enabled it, please.

crappy thing about speakers...most people are using 1/4 inch plug-in, and computers just don't register them.
If you're SURE about the speakers ("I don't think..." is not sure. Take them to a friend and try them out there), then you might have a faulty plug.
2nd...make sure you have all the volume controls set to high. Windows, media players...look in your hardware and software for anything related to audio, and check to make sure that you don't have some sort of master volume settings on "mute" or something like that.
3rd- take the laptop to a computer store, and see if they can get it to play..they're already set up with playing speakers, and will gladly jump through the ropes for you if they think you're just shopping for a good set for your computer, then help you diagnose the problem if they don't work there.

If everything is grayed out in the audio devices property in the control panel, that means there's a problem with your audio driver, first step I would take is to reboot your machine, hopefully it will come back.

If that fails, most Dell computers come with a Application CD, put the CD in the CD rom drive and have it reload the audio drivers back in.

Also make sure your speakers are plugged into the green port on back of your computer

oxidation.

Turn on the round circle volume on top of the speaker and you will be all set, the reson you are not able to here is because the volume is turn off and there is no marking on the volume control to say weather it sis turned off or on.
No need for drivers.

Visit the support website for DELL and download the sound driver for your model and operating system directly from them.

You probably don't have the right drivers in order to run sound

standard color code for line out is set as green

Your speakers cannot handle the wattage being supplies by your sound card / computer. Either keep the volume lower, or get speakers that are rated for more watts.

Good day nanny144, yes you can buy a different type of speaker, try out creatives, they have good quality spaeker sets, or any ordinary computer speakers will do.

come to gtalik i will tell u .. my gtalk id is sibananda2k5

Did you find out how to make it work?? I'm having the same issue!

Typically, the LEFT speaker connects only to the RIGHT speaker.

The RIGHT speaker connects to the LEFT speaker.
The RIGHT speaker connects to the AC power-supply.
The RIGHT speaker connects to the "green" port (not the nearby "blue" nor "pink" connectors) on the "back" of your computer.

Check the connections.

Hi there,

1. Check the light if it is lit on the speaker.
2. If you do not see any light lit on speaker, try to turn it on.
3. Check the speaker setup and connectivity.
4. Start>All Programs>Accessories>Entertainment>Volume Control

Warm regards,
