computer speakers?

Question

I have a new computer and the speakers don't work. They are built-in.

Answer 1

Mine are barely audible but I have externals. Try the volume in controll panel.

Answer 2

click:Start/settings/control panel.
Double click sound & Audio Device
Then check your speakers.
Make sure the connection between the speaker
and the computer is ok.
And don't forget about the sound card !

Answer 3

Ok ,go to control panel..and click sounds and audio divices...........then u can set your speakers volume limit.....if that didn't work ...u can see icon in the computer right hand side, then u can adjust ur speakers volume......or if didn't work properly some thing wrong with your speaker

Answer 4

I would suggest getting some good external speakers. The built-in ones are never very good.
