Some Tips on Playing Videos

• Check the wires from your speakers to your computer to ensure there is a solid connection. If you get a crackly sound or no sound at all, a loose wire may be the problem.
• Turn up the volume. Most speakers have volume controls on the front of one or two speakers. Make sure the speakers are switched to "on" and the volume control is set high enough to hear sound. You may need to check the multimedia or speaker setting on your Control Panel to make sure that the volume is set properly and the "mute" box is not checked.
