Since I can hear the sound with the headphones the sound from the computer is OK leading me to believe it was the speakers.I opened the sound settings. I checked all output devices with the “speakers/headphones” the only one that worked.Finally I unplugged the speakers, nothing.So, maybe it is the speakers! When I get the chance I will borrow my wife’s to check and see it they work on my desktop.Again, appreciate the help. Hello wilson.
When you tested with earphones and connected to the computer, did you use the same output as for your speakers? The the following if you answered NO.1) that the power cord for the speaker is in, light on the speaker as well.2) the volume control is working and set above a very low or mute position.3) the wire from the speaker(s) is plugged correctly into the computer (not disconnected) or in the wrong slot.4) and you are the only person who can access the system.You might surprise yourself, Mindblower!.
