My speakers are fine .

Answer 1

1. Check all connections
2. Download Sound drivers for you computer usually found on the manufacturer's website.
3. Re-install Wimdows Media Player or try to update it.

Answer 2

You probably need to update your media player first. If that doesn't work then, reduce the acceleration level in the player. Go to windows media player. Click on tools menu @ top of the screen. If u cant see the menu, enlarge the screen. Under " tools" click. Then when you see performance...click. Lower your acceleration half way. If its already half way...lower it to none. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Make sure your system sound and media player isn't muted. pressing F7 in windows media player 11 will unmute/mute it. You can check system sound by clicking the speaker icon in bottom right corner by the time.
