supplied with the speakers.
TEST THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET — Ensure that the electrical outlet is
working by testing it with another device, such as a lamp.
ENSURE THAT THE SPEAKERS ARE TURNED ON — See the setup
diagram supplied with the speakers.
ADJUST THE WINDOWS VOLUME CONTROL — Double-click the speaker

and that the sound is not muted. Adjust the volume, bass, or treble controls to
eliminate distortion.

connector on the computer. Ensure that the headphone volume control is turned
up. Play a music CD.
RUN THE SPEAKER SELF-TEST — Some speaker systems have a self-test
button on the subwoofer. See the speaker documentation for self-test
instructions.
ELIMINATE POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE — Turn off nearby fans, fluorescent
lights, or halogen lamps to check for interference.
REINSTALL THE SOUND (AUDIO) DRIVER — See page 75.
CHECK THE PRINTER CABLE CONNECTIONS — Ensure that the printer
cable is properly connected to the computer (see page 30).
