Help please...no sound!

[Phoenix .]

This is driving me nuts, can't listen to vids on the tube.

It was working fine then it just stopped. I have plugged in new speakers to no avail although they have been recognised by the PC .
I have Realtek high def audio system.

Any clues?

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Have you accidentally hit the mute button?

[chrisjw]

Open up Realtak, go to the audio tab & make sure it's not on 'headphone' setting.....Failing that, re-boot your pc.......

No Sandra it is full on, I have just plugged my old speakers in going to test them now.

Realtek recognising speakers but say 'not plugged in' but there is a green jack that goes into the green socket on the pc and that is where I have plugged it in?
chris, don't know where the audio tab is ???

Right click on the Realtek icon in bottom right corner of taskbar & select 'sound manager', then click on 'audio'.have you tried re-starting pc?

Thanks Sandra, problem solved

Also, right click on the little speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner of the task bar & open volume controls.....make sure the volume box isn't ticked where it says 'mute'

Just out of curiosity, what was the problem though?

guessing not having speakers set as default? another prob is if you right click the white speaker check the dolby sound t that is one other prob

Phoenix forgot she had her ear muffs on

Chris cannot remember what the problem was, I just followed Chillax link and went through the motions with the Windows help check.

Oh, yes I remember now. I had plugged the jack into the wrong socket
