Make sure the sound icon in systray isn't set to Mute. Make sure you haven't muted the speaker or have the headphone choice muted and have speakers plugged to the headphone port.
I just bought a home made asus computer who had different speakers, they worked at first and then I did something and cannot get them back on ..they are A525 nice dell speakers but it will not recognize it now. Whatever I did,
thanks
