I have HP w2338h sound won't work

Open Control Panel and from there, click "sound". Under playback, you can see the audio devices connected and you can right click on them and select enable/disable.

First thing first, check cable and sound card with another speakeer system. most of the time even if the sound card show in the device manager it can be faulty. then begin work from there.

if you found that the previous step work and the monitor does not work, you may require to change the sound card in it. at this point I would use external speaker set.

Hi hsaiyed,

appear. You can do different function you want for your monitor to do such as turning the menu off. Observe if the button is working properly, if it is stuck the "menu" on screen won't go away.The buttons are either on the right hand side facing you or under the panel.Buttons go bad due to improper use. If it is bad you have to replace the control panel.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Try the following:

• Right click the speaker icon in your icon tray > click playback devices, see if you can see your monitor there as an option, and if so, right click it and click "Set as default device"

Hopefully that helps!

It is most likely a bad power supply... I have had aboit 4 diff monitors do this to me... most common is under rated capacitors in the internal power supply... some times there could be a black light going out witch causes higher current draw on the power supply ( witch can take out the caps, fusses, transformers ( caps and transformers when they get week and bad can cause the buzzing sound ( on some times with a radio near buy then the monitor is acting up with blanking out and buzzine the radio will pop and buzz as well witch is a sign that there is arching going on IE. caps and transformer are most common for that )))

hope this info helps
