How to Set Up Sound on Your Computer

To set up sound on your computer, you'll need to enable the appropriate audio device. There are several ways to do this. The first option is to choose a sound device, which can be found in the sound system settings menu. If you're using a built-in sound system, you can select it. This will allow you to adjust the volume. Click the volume icon to change the playback device.

Some devices have detailed volume levels, while others simply have volume controls for each individual device. Make sure the drivers are installed properly. If they aren't, the sound you're hearing will be of low quality or non-existent. If this is the case, you're probably having driver problems. Here's how to fix that:

If you have trouble adjusting the volume on your computer, check your Windows settings. Windows will give you a mute option when the volume is set to a low level. If you want to mute individual applications, click the speaker icon on your taskbar. If you'd like to customize the volume for each application, use the Mixer option below the volume slider. Once you're satisfied with the volume of each application, you can change its maximum volume with the Device slider.

If your sound card is not recognized in the system settings, try manually installing it. It depends on the type of sound card you have. If your computer doesn't recognize your audio device, you can do this by launching the Terminal and typing lspci as a superuser. Once you've entered the proper password, click OK. Once you've successfully installed the necessary drivers, your sound will work.
