I have a acer aspire 4520 and the speaker drivers doesnt show up on device manager and the sound doesnt work at all do i have to replace my speakers completely?

1. make sure the driver is installed correctly for your sound card.
2. Check device manager to see if device is disabled.
3. if all failed your will need to replace the motherboard or just add an USB card card.

Ebv65,

External speakers for your laptop are very easy to hook up. They should plug right in to the external speaker outlet on the laptop. Your acer 4520 has a Headphone/speaker/line-out jack with S/PDIF support. First you need to check all your volume levels within the control panel (located in the sounds and devices folder) to make sure they are up. This solve your problem. Thanks for visiting Fixya.com. Have a great day.

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it
click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers
click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers make sure you have selected the
(((appropriate speakers))) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there
also
click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar

have you tried this control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check
the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good
try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer
hope this helps

I would first try to check for viruses and spyware. This is one of the major causes of sound issues. If everything else is ok with this laptop, then it sounds like your audio card might have a problem. Howver you might also have a problem with your speakers. Try connecting external speakers to you computer. If they work then it's your speakers. You can purchase those online from Ebay.

This seems to be the Internal Speakers are not Working , only Option to get it fixed is replacing the internal speakers .

try to hook an external speaker or earfphones or headset if its working or not. if not then you should update audio driver for this one, or even need to change sound card. but if it has sound, replace the internal speakers.

go to Acer site and click on support enter your serial number on bottom of laptop and download sound drivers hope this works...

Ok.. This is the downloads site for ACER support site.

However there are two wireless LAN drivers in that directory. You should find out which one is yours. To do this click start->right-cllcik on computer. When the system window opens click on device manager located under tasks on the left hand side. When the device manager opens double-click on network adapters and one of the two devices(Atheros wireless LAN or Broadcom wireless LAN) will be listed. Download the respective driver and your wireless would be up and runnin'

This is most likely a simple driver glitch. You can fix it by uninstalling the audio drivers from the device manager, then reboot. The machine will find the sound card and reinstall the drivers automatically. This should fix it, if not let me know.
