operating system.

If you are using powered external speakers that have an On/Off
control, ensure that: The On/Off control is set to the On position.
The speaker power cable is connected to a properly grounded,
functional ac electrical outlet.
-
If your external speakers have a volume control, ensure that
the volume is not set too low.
-
Click the volume icon in the Windows notification area on the
taskbar. Check the speaker and volume settings. Do not mute the speaker
or set the volume at a very low level.
-
If your computer has a front audio panel, ensure that the volume
is not set too low.
-
Ensure that your external speakers (and headphones, if used)
are connected to the correct audio connector on the computer. Most
speaker cables are color-coded to match the audio connector. Note: When external-speaker or headphone cables are connected to the audio
connector, the internal speaker, if present, is disabled. In most
cases, if an audio adapter is installed in one of the expansion slots,
the audio function built into the system board is disabled. Therefore,
you must use the audio connectors on the audio adapter.
-
Ensure that the program you are running is designed for use
in the Microsoft Windows operating system. If the program is designed
to run in DOS, the program does not use the Windows sound feature.
The program must be configured to use SoundBlaster Pro or SoundBlaster
emulation.
-
Ensure that the audio device drivers are correctly installed.
