The speakers are intergrated in to the monitor and don't seem t.

Go though your menu on the reciever, Look for the speaker functions for your front end rear speakers ,It was probably turned off. Was it working before you got it from your friend,

Make sure all the volume is up. If you sill don't hear anything, speaker or wires might be faulty. Needs servicing.

First we need to check if we rightfully plug the speaker in it,s rightful socket at the back of your computer. There are three sockets one is for the mic the other one is for the speaker and lastly the input socket. the green socket is it's rightful place. So now we can proceed, make sure that you have a proper sound driver for your computer. If it is still not installed, we really cannot hear anything from the speaker that we just plug in. Try to re-install your motherboard drivers, especially the sound driver for *********** board. If you don't have an installation disk, then try to buy or acquire a driver magician installation disk it is available at any software stores. After you installed driver magician, it will automatically detect any missing drivers that your motherboard needs. Try downloading each one by pressing download and driver magician will automatically search the web and download it for you. All you got to do is install them. I respectfully hope that this would solve your problems. Have a nice day friend.

Turn the squelch down, and the RF gain all the way up.

You need to realize that some times, there is not a lot of noise out there. Right now lately there has been due to skip. But it does die down. When you hear a lot of noise for a while, then it goes away, it messes with your head. You don't hear anything, but that's because its quite out. I would test it by talking to some one on the radio. If you can hear them just fine even though you don't hear a lot of static, then its just quiet out.

Do you even hear white noise? If not, it sounds like your phone's speakers may be broken, or it has water damage. If your landline is connected to more phones, ask yourself these questions:

Do all of the phones have this problem? If so, it's a problem with your connection, not the speaker.

Is there a volume button anywhere on the phone or the base? Try turning it up.

Do my phones make a "beep" noise when i push the buttons? If not, did they used to? If they don't, then it's likely that the speaker is no longer working properly.

You may need to contact panasonic and see if they will replace it for you.

Hope this helped! Please rate my solution!

In Control panel, check you have the sound enabled by testing one of the windows sound schemes, even if you can't hear anything you will see it is enabled.

Check the volume icon on your desktop taskbar is not in mute mode

Finally, check the wire from the monitor speakers is plugged into the correct port in your sound card / chip. (Usually green)

yes. it is almost positively the video card.
you can get a PCI video card and install that in an open slot.
if you don't need to play games, you don't need a fancy one, just a basic card.

shut down the computer then unplug the speaker.then wait a little and restart it. as soon as it is ready,plug in the speaker. It should recognize and search for drivers. and the it should work fine. .

I have exactly the same problem and am searching the web for a solution. I am unable to change any settings on the computer, because of the strobbing monitor (I don't have a reserve monitor). If anyone knows the cause and, more importantly, the solution to this problem, that would be most appreciated.

speakers have gone best getting a new phone it would cost more to replace speakers
