Sound system problems
You don’t hear any sound from the computer.
Adjust the volume control. There is a volume control dial on the 
computer, a volume control feature in the Windows Control Panel 
(“Sounds”), or it might be muted. There may also be a volume 
control on your speakers or headphones or in your audio 
application.
If you are using an external microphone or speakers, check that 
they are securely connected to your computer.
The computer emits a loud, high-pitched noise.
This is feedback between the microphone and the speakers. It 
occurs in any sound system when input from a microphone is fed 
to the speakers and the speaker volume is too loud. Adjust the 
volume control.
If you have changed the settings for the Record Monitor feature in 
the Recording Control Utility (default Off) or the Mute feature in 
the Mixer Utility (default Enabled), these may cause feedback. 
Revert to the default settings.
Optional devices
Optional devices can include a printer, PC Cards, an external 
monitor, or any other device you connect to your computer to 
expand its capabilities.
For an external monitor, see 
.
PC Card problems
Most PC Card problems occur during installation and setup of 
new cards. If you’re having trouble getting one or more of these 
devices to work together, several sections in this chapter may 
apply.
