If your external speakers have a volume control, verify that the volume control is not set too low.
Double-click the speaker icon in the Windows notication area. A master volume-control window opens.
Verify that the Mute settings are not checked and none of the volume settings is set too low.
Some models have a front audio panel you can use to adjust volume. If you have a front audio panel,

Verify that your external speakers (and headphones, if used) are connected to the correct audio connector

Note: When external-speaker or headphone cables are attached to the audio connector, the internal
speaker, if present, is disabled. In most cases, if an audio adapter is installed in one of the expansion slots,
the audio function built into the system board is disabled; use the audio jacks on the adapter.
