Dell A525 speakers, no sound with Windows 7

Hi Clarkkk,

It seems like the speaker device is not getting enabled in the Sound properties. Please follow the steps below to enable the speaker.

1. Click on the Start button and open the Control Panel.
2. Once in the Control Panel, change your view to either large icons or Small icons. Look for and click and open on the ‘Sound’.
3. Click on ‘Playback’ tab.
4. Select ‘Speaker’and click on ‘properties’ button.
5. Click on ‘General’ tab under the device usage select ‘Use this device’ and click on OK.

Also, please connect an earphone to the system to check if you are able to hear the sound.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. As it happens I finally got the speakers working before seeing your post.

I tried so many things I am not certain what it was that worked, but I think I got to the device drivers in the sound section where there were three icons shown under the Playback tab -- one titled Digital Audio, and two titled Speakers with subtitle  "High Definition Audio Device"

I disabled them all, and then enabled them one at a time, and one of the two worked.

Hi Clarkkk,

I am glad that issue with the system is fixed. Please reply us if you have any queries.
