check you have pluged into the green one that is sound out
check you have power to your speakers.
open control panal / sounds and audio devices

How to set up computer for USB microphone?

lanceneume

Bought a USB microphone so that the kids can sing karaoke using my laptop, tv, and surround sound. I am having trouble with the set-up, specifically running the output from the laptop to my surround sound receiver.

When playing strictly music from my laptop to the surround sound, I run a cord from the headphone jack on my laptop to the receiver. However, when I have the microphone plugged in, this isn't working. The only way I got it to work is to run that cord from the headphone jack on the microphone to the receiver, which works fine - but am severely limited because of the length of that cord.

Is there a way to set it up so that I can run the cord from the headphone jack on the laptop to the receiver, instead of running it from the microphone headphone jack to the receiver?

Answer
usb is nice and convenient but whatever you plug into computer needs drivers. did you install them for the microphone? does microphone show in Device Manager? Does Device Manager show red or yellow flag over it?

How to Shorten Headphones?

Samantha J

Is it possible to cut and tape the headphone cord and have it work like new without going through the trouble of soldering; like they way you would with speaker wire?
I don't trust myself with solder.

Answer
that seems like a waste of time and probably won't work very well. If you go to walmart (or target or probably any store like that) they sell little plastic things that look like thread spoils that you can wrap your excess headphone wires on. It's in the section with the headphones.

Some headphones come with them attached:

How to fix my sound on my PC?

Brandin We

I have windows vista, I have my computer hooked up to the tv and it was working fine. I came home and spouse said sound was off but didn't know how. I have checked everything from cords to device manager and found no problem. Does anyone have any ideas on what else I could check?

Answer
1. Check the volumn on your TV make sure it's loud enough.
2. Make sure the TV isn't muted.
3. Make sure your computer isn't muted.
4. Make sure the audio on your computer is turned up (near max)
5. Disconnect and reconnect the audio cable at both ends.
6. Make sure the audio cable is connected to the green audio out (speaker) port on your computer. OR try a headphones output port (sometimes on the front).
7. Make sure the audio cable is connected to the correct ports on the TV.

If you are using HDMI:
8. You can ignore what I said about audio output cord.
9. You should start by rebooting your computer and trying again.
10. Disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable at both ends.

11. Re-install your audio drivers
12. If you used HDMI, re-install your video card drivers

Follow that one by one and it should get fixed. Otherwise it could be a hardware issue.

What causes high-pitched feedback in speakers?

Pandora93

I've had these computer speakers less than a month and the right one isn't working the way it's supposed to.
I can't figure out what it is, whether it's the cords or the speaker itself. All I know is when I connect the earphones to my computer-without going through the speakers first-there's sound in both headphones.
The speakers are Companion II Bose computer speakers, and I'm in no mood to have to call technical support-if I don't have to.

Answer
High pitch sound is the result of static discharge which is in turn the fault of the wiring. Try making sure you have completely set up your system correctly through your audio manager (realtek HD audio manager etc) Unplug and replug the whole system and it should work correctly
