I had sound on my laptop when I bought it (it's not new) and now I don't have sound. I checked the Sound part of the Display and looked at all the controls and nothing is muted. I also have the volume turned up but still silent.

Is there anything that else that I should check out before I take it to a pro?

Tks,
Tabby

You may also want to plug a set of headphones into the headphone jack. Also... most laptops have a way to physically mute the speakers (a 'mute button', as it were).

If you want to send me a PL (just click on my name), I'd be happy to walk you through it over the phone.

Case,

Thank you so very much for your assistance today! Finally my laptop is no longer silent.

Case, you are the best! MOL, you are the best! This is why I love living here.
