The computer recognizes the speakers are plugged in and the media player shows the songs are playing but the sound isn't on.
I have a college class tomorrow online Help!!!
When you double click on the volume icon (lower right down by the time) what does it say? Sometimes when you plug in speakers they automatically mute to avoid extremely loud and unpleasant eruptions of sound. Assuming all of that is ok have you plugged your external speakers into power? Computers require powered speakers to operate, either a/c or battery. They should have an on/off swith and a volume control, I imagine you've tried those? If yes right click on your sound icon and select sounds. Click on the playback tab and select your new speakers. Hit the configure tab and the set up will guide you from there.
If you hightlight the speaker you should be able to select properties. Select properties and make sure your speakers are enabled. Go back and right click your speaker icon open the mixer and make sure all of the sliders are up. If these are usb connected did you install the software? Select the sounds tab this will let you test for sound without running other software.

when I go into this section the boxes at the bottom are nt active.
I can only view the options I cannot click on them to change anything.
I had the sound on for a few moments very softly then it went off again. The little speaker on the bottom says it is at54% the sound screen says the speakers are ok. I have no sounds to accompany logging in etc. and when the music is playing it was very faint now it is gone again.
Go into the device manager and tell me if there is any sound device listed in there.
Do you see a icon of a speaker in the bottom right hand corner where the time is?
