Make sure the green light is on on the speaker and push button for highest setting. Do the same for computer volume.

Have you tried adjusting the volume? This thing works as plug-and-play. If it doesn't work the first time, it could have been factory defect.

Unfortunately, I did not keep the speaker, because I was not happy with the sound it produced........so I sent it back to Amazon. Even though I connected it to the computer....can't quite remember how I did that. However, I would suggest that you go to YouTube and put that speaker in the search box.......a YouTube video should come up with a "techy" showing how to make the connection. I've done that with a number of other products and it has been very helpful to me.

There's a switch on the back, switch it to internal speakers. Seems like you have it on "line-in" Hope this works

Maybe try using the charger and when u plug the USB into the laptop and connect it to the wusic speaker it might work?

I just set mine up and it works fine. I use the USB connection and you need to click the input monitor in the lower toolbar so you can hear it. If that button is not lit up you won't hear it. You don't have to record it. My computer has speakers attached. I have Windows XP.

Herb - I am using an HP laptop with this monitor, connected via HDMI. It did not occur to me when I bought the monitor that it does not have built-in speakers, so I am using external speakers using the audio-out connection. Your question prompted me to double-check my sounds. I don't use many apps, but Windows 8 sounds work (including those associated with a theme), as do sounds in Quicken. I also noticed today that the sound icon in the task bar splits into two settings when I am set up this way. I can adjust the volume on my laptop as well as the volume through the external speakers - separate toggles. Short answer; I don't appear to have any sound issues using this monitor/HDMI.

Oh you are quite welcome! If those speakers are truly never used Dell speakers, they should give you a very good sound quality experience. I simply love my Dell speakers! I like to listen to music and watch movies on my computer and my Dell speakers have always delivered good quality sound time and time again!One tip, after connecting the speakers go into your computer's settings to be sure you have the sound setting up to where you like it. Then click "apply" and the speakers should give you years of happy listening.Have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas!

Will this work if my current laptop sound card no longer works? - Yes, but you have to plug in separate speakers. It won't be able to run your laptop speakers unless you hack the laptop I think.In other words, does it rely on the current audio card, or is it independent? - It's independent.

Mine works fine. I'd try to reset your computer and/or confirm that the audio out is automatically switching to the display port (when TV is turned on). Win 7 automatically does this (not sure about older OS systems). You may also want to look for an updated audio driver for your laptop.

Mine works fine. You may have to change your settings to recognize the speaker bar.

Your system should play music. If you've adjusted your settings, but you still can't get sound, you may need to call your local Geek Squad.

you may need to disable your onboard soundcard first. try that and make sure the syba shows up in device manager when you plug it in. you could also try a different usb port. hope this helps, mine works great!

Try changing the ground cable to a thicker one nd ground it to the chasis. Nd chek ur speaker wires. In and out the box.

I've found sometimes just reboot the whole system since it checks for an active input, I know what you mean though bro! Turn everything off and then power everything on but the speakers play audio and turn it on

there is probably more than one port to plug in........probably a stupid answer but did you try both? Make sure the volume is turned up on your computer as there is no volume control on the speaker. I though mine didn't work at first either, but this "fixed it"

Try looking for a reset hole on the bottom of the speaker. A paper clip should fit in it. That cured mine.if not, try calling the customer service number. I found them surprisingly helpful and friendly - not what you expect these days. They answered several questions I had and solved the problem Good luck!

Maggie, Just like someone else already said, check both connections. Make sure the source of the audio is fine by connecting a wired speaker to it.Good luck!
