Speakers Don't Work On My Dell

By Jen C (Guest Post)

Picture in manual of new Dell looked like I was supposed to plug in to the black colored output. Going crazy trying to detect why I had no sound. Found out online I have to put it in the GREEN one! Now I have sound! WOO-HOO!

I have a Dell desktop with Auditek speakers and I've had these since July and they've been working great, but suddenly today, they stopped working. What happened?

Can you help me with my speaker. No sound is coming out of them.

All computers will work fine if you just take a couple steps to help make them work properly.

First remove all the junk that comes along with your dell.

Click start: Run... Type: MSCONFIG

Under the start up tab remove all checked items that have nothing to do with the normal operation of Windows. If you are unsure Google the exact thing with the check next to it (EI: NvCpl).

Next remove any programs such as Google Toolbar, Yahoo Pop up blocker, etc.

Instead of using Macafee or Norton virus protection delete those and use AVG Free 8.0 which is <u>Free</u>.

Also remove Adware with Ad-Aware which is also <u>Free</u>.

Next repair your registry with Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, which is also <u>Free</u>.

Instead of using Internet Explorer use Mozilla Firefox.

And Clear out your internet history and cookies at least weekly.

To do so: Open Internet Explorer, on the right pull down tab click 'Tools', Internet Options, Under the 'General' tab click the delete button next to the words 'Browsing history'. This will bring up another small window and at the bottom you can select between Delete all... and Close. I normally click Delete all...

Follow these few steps and you will be surprised at how much quicker your computer will be.

One last note: In the bottom trey with the clock the only icons you should have down there upon initial start up are the speakers, wireless if you have it, modem boxes if you have it, the time, and maybe a printer. Anything else and you are wasting start up time/ system performance.

Can not get the speakers to work. Tried everything. Anyone got any ideals?

Hey man, I'm only 11. My speakers are plugged in and there is a blue light on the speakers and mute isn't on and the volume is high. What should I do?

I just Had my dell computer in the shop because I didn't have any sound. It turned out my husband hooked the speakers up wrong. I asked the repair guy about the fact that you had to have dell speakers and he said any speakers should work. It use to be that you had to have all the same brand. But that doesn't apply anymore.

We have a Dell computer and love it. You didn't mention whether or not your speakers were Dell speakers. When you use a Dell computer, you need to buy all Dell products or else they won't work. So if you have another brand of speakers, they won't work on your Dell computer.

Good luck

I see that alot of people are down on Dell, but I have a Dell desktop and a laptop. The desktop is 5 years old and going strong, and the laptop is 6 months old. but fine also. I don't care for the service techs you talk to, can't understand them most of the time. Other then that I like my Dell computers.
