- Make sure your speakers or headphones are plugged in and turned on.

- If you are using speakers, adjust the volume on your speakers.

- Double-click the picture of the speaker on the right side of your taskbar.

- Make sure that the boxes next to the first two "Mutes" are not checked. Move the first two volume bars to the top.
