Speakers not working.

[Terry]

My computer speakers (small ones) stopped working. Tried some new ones...
same problem..no sound. Could someone instruct me how to check the drivers
or sound card.
Thanks.

Outlook question? You should check to see if your speakers are muted. Go to
Control Panel, Sounds and go thru all the links--volume control will have a
mute button. If there's a speaker icon on the lower right, use that to get to
the controls. You should ask about this in the forum for your operating
system.

Have you check to see of the speakers have been muted? Check Control
Panel > Sounds and Audio Device Properties. On the Volume tab, is the
Mute box checked? Another thing to check is if your PC has a hardware
mute button. Many laptops have a button to disable sounds.

Not an Outlook Express question. Stick to the XP newsgroups.

You can't manage to figure out that Outlook Express, Internet Explorer,
and Outlook have nothing to do with your speakers and yet you cross-post
to those groups. Yeah, bet you can't even figure out how to unmute the
volume control, turn on the power to the powered speakers, or turn the
volume control on those powered speakers, too. What a dufus!

Hi Terry
Ignore the gibes and insults - have you tried the suggestions given by those
who tried to help.
If not then the one group you did not post to which might have been more
productive, would been windowsxp.hardware.
Good luck

He did that, too. In fact, in three fora for his operating system.

Ouch! Was that really necessary?

Yeah, I'm grouchy today, especially with dumb questions (dumb, in this
case, being the inability to discern by a group's title just what the
group is about). I feel no remorse about being abrupt with a poster
that deliberately shotguns their post to groups that are obviously
unrelated, especially to the problem.

I have no idea why this has happened to me, and why there is such an easy
fix.. but a reboot has fixed it before.. when I log back on I have sound...

What if... ?

The user were dependent upon accessibility features with a preference to
sound prompts as opposed to mainly and singularly onscreen prompts?

Pretty wild guesses on your part considering the dearth of information
from the OP. The OP said his speakers weren't "working". He didn't say
they didn't work for just the Outlook or Internet Explorer sound events.
Until the OP comes back with more details, there is no point in wasting
the time, bandwidth, and disk space proposing thousands of guesses as to
how to solve the ill-defined problem. I could guess that the OP was
plugging the speakers into the Mic jack instead of the Spkr jack, too.
