make sure the speakers are plug into the right hole light green on most computers get a new sound card driver from acer website. unmute, click the speaker icon make sure volume is turned up. test speakers to see if they work

Hi There,
Try reinstalling the drivers for your audio/video components, sounds like you're missing a driver somewhere.

Hi,

You can reinstall the sound drivers from the Acer recovery management, to do so:
Start Menu> All Programs> Acer erecovery management> Restore> Restore Application & Drivers> Contents> Select Realtek and install it

OR

Got to http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/
Select the computer model
Select Operating System installed on your computer
Click Drivers
Select Audio (Realtek) and download it.
Once downloaded, install it on your computer.

Thanks and regards,
Jitha
