Check for volume controls and speakers
- Check if you have accidently muted your computer or your system volume is kept at minimum level. This is quite simple isn’t it but sometimes simple things may be the reason for the problem. This has happened with one of my friend who was pulling his hairs out of frustration and the answer was just in front of him. Check for the mixer option it lies below the volume control. Check if volume has been enabled for the headphones and speakers.
- Check for the speakers if they are connected properly or not. Search for change sound card settings in the start button search and open it. In playback tab check if all your device is plugged in or not. If it shows red mark then there is some problem with your hardware. Check if all connections are intact and also check the system with other hardware.
