Tia,
Here's what I would look for: First make certain that the speakers are
getting power if they are powered speakers. If you have a pair of non
powered speakers or a set of headphones you could use them to verify that
the computer's speaker jack has output.
Also turn up the speaker volume [on the speakers] all the way, then touch
the tip of the speaker plug to see if there's a hum from the speakers. If
you have this problem often then maybe you should buy a cheap non powered
speaker or headphones for testing.
Also make certain that the sound has not been muted. Double click the
speaker icon on the right side of the task bar to see whether the main sound
volume control is turned up and not muted.
Another thing to check if non of the above works, if your computer has a
separate sound card, maybe it is loose in the card slot. You can verify
whether there is a pluggable card by where the speaker plug is in line close
to one edge of the computer. An external device that is connected to the
mother board will be in that line, like the monitor cable, the speakers, the
modem, the network interface card [NIC], etc. Devices which plug into a plug
in card will be plugged in farther from the edge of the tower.
