Below are various solutions that you can try, ranging from the easiest fix to the most advanced, to troubleshoot why your laptop’s speakers do not work.
1. Restarting your computer is by far the easiest thing to do to fix your audio problem. Sometimes, a conflict occurs in the software, and a restart can erase any conflicts or data corruption, and like magic, everything works the way it was intended.
2. Check your volume setting; make sure the speakers are not muted, and the volume is turned up by clicking on the speakers’ icon in the lower right corner of your laptop.
3. If you use headphones or external speakers, the audio signal is sent to that device (which can be turned off, out of battery, etc.) Disconnect them to see if the audio comes out of your laptop’s speakers again.
4. Run the voice troubleshooter to check for and fix any problem it finds. Right-click the speaker symbol in the system tray and click troubleshoot the sound issue. Follow the prompts to set the audio issue.
5. Update your drivers. Just like restarting your computer, this solution has a high chance of fixing your audio problems. This piece of hardware will fail to function if it is incompatible with the newer Windows version. There is one of two ways to do this.
The first method involves opening the Device Manager and locating the audio input and output entry. Updating drivers is done automatically by your computer.
The second method involves downloading the drivers directly from Dell (or the manufacturer). By doing this, download the latest drivers while visiting Device Manager, which may give you an older version.
Once you have downloaded the drivers, go back to Device Manager and install them.
6. Roll back the recently installed drivers. Conversely, the audio problems can be caused by faulty drivers, so it’s best to revert to an older, working version of the audio driver.
7. Reset your PC; doing so allows you to reinstall your WinWindow from scratch essentially, and everything is as it was when you first bought the laptop. Keep in mind that this process may take some time.
8. If everything you’ve tried still doesn’t work, contact Dell Technical Support. You can also get help from the NSS Laptop Service Center for instant support.
