Did it work before or is this a new computer to you? There are several possibillities for the sound not to work. I would first check the device manager to see if the audio device is listed and to see if there are any resource conflicts present. This can be done by going into your windows control panel and selecting device manager to view the sytem components. If you see your sound making device listed with no conflicts present, then the next step would be to reinstall the device driver. You can that from the System Disc that came with the PC or by downloading it from the maufacturers website. Hope this helps.

If it's plugged into a external speaker system, doesn't the external speaker system have volume control? In the Tray Notification Area, right click or click on the Sound Icon, adjust volume OR open the Control Panel and select Sounds Icon.

My Dell Latitude E5500 speaker is too low, how to increase volume?

If you have volume control in the system tray (bottom right corner), double-click it. In Windows XP you will see all the sound controls. Increase all to the maximum level (except microphone).
Use the buttons close to the screen to increase the volume.
There is a volume control in the player you are using. Increase it to the maximum.
If it doesn't help, please let us know.

ACER ASPIRE 3000

Left click the volume icon in the system tray in windows.

A slider will appear which you can drag up and down to change the volume on the computer.

If the volume icon is not in the system tray, do this:

Go to Start->Control Panel
Pick Sounds and Audio Devices
Open the Volume tab
Tick "Place volume icon in taskbar"

Now you should have an icon in the taskbar.

If you cannot do this, then you do not have the proper sound card drivers installed and you computer will be playing no sound whatsoever, which is unrelated to your question.
