I just got a new Dell lap top and it doesn't have sound. How do I install it?

Answer 1

See if the drivers are installed correctly first. Go to Start - Control Panel (click classic view) - System Folder - double click. Click the Hardware tab - click Device Manager. Are there any yellow ? or ! by the sound? If there are - click the plus sign to expand - double click on the one that has the yellow ? or ! - try to reinstall drivers.
Are you sure that the "mute" button is not checked and the sound is turned up? Is there a speaker down by the clock? If there is - double click and make sure volume is turned up.

in case you dropped it and thats why you sent to Dell, they probable have not put in the sound drivers on your computer. pass to the Dell internet site, help and enter your computer equipment tag from the backside of the computer. seek for audio drivers, and obtain and set up. in case you dropped after to procure it returned, then you certainly might have broken something. deliver it returned returned.
