Here are some solutions for getting proper sound from your computer. These solutions can also help if you don't hear any sounds from your computer or from a sound device connected to your computer.

Follow the steps to fix if you can't here sound from your computer

There are a few simple things to check first:
•Make sure your computer has a sound card.

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.


1.Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.‌ Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2. Expand the Sound, video and game controllers category. If a sound card is listed, you have one installed. If no sound card is listed, You will need to install one. See Install or remove a sound card.

NoteIf you think you have a sound card installed but you don’t see it under the Sound, video and game controllers category, expand the Other devices category and check any devices listed there.

3.If there is a yellow question mark next to the name of the sound card, there might be a problem. Right-click the name of the sound card, and then click Properties.

4.Click the General tab, and then look in the Device status box to identify problems with the sound card.

•Make sure your speakers are plugged into a working power source and turned on.

•Make sure your speakers are correctly connected to the computer.

On your speakers, find the cable that plugs into your computer. Make sure that the speaker cable is plugged into the speakers and the correct jack on the computer. For example, if the cable is a 1/8 inch cable, there should be a round jack for it on the back of the computer. If it is a universal serial bus (USB) cable, it will plug into any USB port on your computer.

•Make sure that the speaker volume is not muted or turned down too low.

1.Open Volume Control by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then, under Audio Devices and Sound, clicking Adjust system volume.

•Make sure your headphones are not plugged into the line out (headphone) jack of your sound card or computer (unless you want to be listening with headphones rather than speakers). When you plug in headphones, most computers automatically cut the sound to the speakers.

If these steps don’t solve the problem, check the information that came with your computer and speakers or go to the manufacturer's website.

I will continue with solution of other problems listed in this post.

Windows 7 Release Candidate Toolbar

Windows 7 Release Candidate is released to consumers on Tuesday. one days away. I want this post to reflect some of my thoughts as I’ve been using the Beta for a while now, and I’m now preparing for an update to the RC.

First of all, the taskbar pictured above. Lot’s of talking - is it better and whatnot… It’s better, trust me, way better. Surely it takes a while to get used to it, but navigating between windows gets faster. Although, if you are only using a couple of applications at once, and close them when done, you might find no difference. However, as I’m lazy enough to leave all applications running in the background, this makes it all so much easier.

Remember the old taskbar with 20 windows open. Gosh, you couldn’t see shit, and things started getting grouped up (which you at that point weren’t used to). In the end you had no idea where to find things.

Also, searching. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel that Windows 7 puts more focus on searching than previous versions. That’s visible on how I’m using my computer in the daily work too, as I am now used to search for things instead of looking through all my folders. There’s one thing I still miss here though, tagging of files. Photos are ‘taggable’, but I still feel like I want to be able to tag all sorts of files. Does anyone know if this is possible? Hook me up on it.

I just read that the RC will be available for a whole year of free use, so I recommend everyone to take it for a drive - Just to get to know what your future will look like if you decide to stick with the PC, like me.
