Sound card check: MyComputer -- Control Panel Double click Sounds Click Default sound to select (highlight) Click right arrow under Preview If you hear the sound then speakers and sound card working. Problem probably is in browser. Let's check it next. If No sounds from speaker skip browser check and check system. IE browser check: Tools -- Internet Options -- Advanced tab Scroll down to Multimedia section Check "Play sound in web pages" Specifies whether music and other sounds can play when pages are displayed. Sometimes pages that contain audio clips are displayed very slowly. If you want to display pages more quickly, make sure this check box is cleared. If RealNetworks RealAudio is installed, or if a video clip is playing, some sounds might play even if you clear this check box. Sytem check: MyComputer -- Control Panel Double click System Click Device manager tab Make sure no Yellow exclamation marks or red "x", If any, this is the problem area. An X through a device's icon means the device has been disabled. A circled exclamation point through the device's icon means the device has a problem. The type of problem will be displayed in the Properties dialog box for the device. To double check, Double click on Multimedia in Control panel Click on Devices tab Make sure no Yellow exclamation marks or red "x", If any, this is the problem area. An X through a device's icon means the device has been disabled. A circled exclamation point through the device's icon means the device has a problem.
