How to Fix Computer Loudspeakers
Even though most computers have a built-in speaker system, the sound quality isn't always very good. Therefore, attaching free-standing loudspeakers is a great idea. You might run into problems with audio speakers that may include cracks or pops. You may even experience no sound at all.
- Make sure the loudspeakers are attached properly to the computer. On the back of the computer, look for the “Audio Out" plug. There is the image of headphones next to the port. Be sure the cable running from the speakers is inserted securely into the port. If you notice the cable isn’t inserted securely, static noise comes through the speakers.
- Turn the volume all the way down. If the volume is too high, it can cause problems with the speakers. Many speakers are not made to handle very loud noises, so having the volume too high can damage the audio.
- Double-click the small speaker icon that is located in the lower right corner of the desktop. Doing this opens up the audio options on the desktop. It is essential to double-click the icon because only clicking once can open up a different audio option.
- Get rid of the check from any of the mute boxes under the audio options. Those options are for various kinds of audio files to be heard on the computer.
- Change the level of the audio bars. If you hear static over the speakers, you need to take the sliding bars down. This lowers the amplification of the audio. Moving the slider go up increases it.
