First time here, help!

I have had all kinds of problems in my computers, but this last one I can
not find a solution, NO SOUND, or AUDIO,
cheked speaker wires, etc. I tried PC Dr. the first thing they said, is to
make sure thar MUTE is off, I went step by step,
noting. However, if I connect my earphones on the front of the computer I
can hear normaly, CD, radio stations, etc. but on the back of the computer
where the speaker wires are connected noting comes out, I connected the
earphones, no signal.

Does any one here has had this problem?

Do any one here, can give me a clue?

Thank you

Re: First time here, help!

You didn't provide quite enough info but do you know if you have digital or
analog speakers and what type of sound card?
Are the earphone jacks in front connected to the motherboard sound card.
Maybe you did not disable the onboard sound and added an additional sound
card which does not have the drivers installed properly
Are there more than one set of speaker jacks on the back?
Did you check your device manager (Right click my Computer, properties,
Hardware tab for XP) for any splats (yellow exclamations)?

I hope this starts you in the right direction otherwise post more info on
your system, sound card, etc and if it has always been this way or did it
just start....info like that makes it easier to help you

Re: First time here, help!

Brian,
This happens to me everytime I buy a new motherboard. I'm going to guess
your sound is built into your MB. If this is the case, go to the website of
the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard, look up the model# in
products of your computer or motherboard, go to support, then download
drivers for sound. Install the drivers, restart the computer, check for
sound. Also, speaker connections generally hook up to a GREEN connection,
for audio out. Good luck

Re: First time here, help!

A little late, but I want to thank you for your information, I realized that
my computer was still under the extended warranty, so I took it to Best Buy,
and after two days, they call me to pick it up, they said they did not find
anything wrong with it, it works, but I would like to know what happened.

My computer is a HP, a340n model. it has one jack in the back for the
speakers, and one jack in the front for the earphones.
When I was trying to find out why the speakers had no sound, the first thing
I checked was the wiring and the power to the speakers, it has a transformer
to 120 volts. that produces like 9 or 12 volts dc for the speakers, no
problem there, then when I connected the earphones in the front, sound was
OK, I could her a CD a radio etc.- So I tried the earphones in the back
jack where the speakers are connected, no sound. I know that the audio
signal is the same in the front and in the back, and when the earphones are
connected in the front, the speakers go off.

It most have had a bad connection between these jacks, however, when using
the PC doctor that comes with the computer, ir went through a test, and a
notice came on that indicated there was a problem with the hardware.

I certainly would like to know what happened, I am willing to duplicate the
problem if I could.

The first thing that the audio test indicate, is to make sure that the
volume is not "mute" There is even a button on my keyboard, with a sign of a
speaker an a backlash, that turns on the speakers mute.

Thanks any way, if you think there is a switch in the sound card, that can
be turned off, please let me know. I am going to open my computer and clean
all the hardware anyway.
