Sound Problem

Welcome to Windrivers Jose1

Yours is very easy go here and download the audio driver - when it has downloaded, double click it and it will install.

I don't know if this is a sound card problem or not. My monitor has the built in speaker. a few months ago the speakers stopped working. I have speakers plugged into the back of my tower right now that work fine. But I would love to have the monitor speakers work. Any suggestions???

monitor is a Westinghouse, model #LCM-17v8 (not the one that came with computer. One that came with computer is broke too. I'll have to find a different thread for questions on that lol)

Many of these monitors have the sound controlled by the monitor menu itself. You may have inadvertently muted it or turned it down.

In addition this monitor does dvi or vga and the sound setups can be quite different depending on which input you are using.

the user manual is here Check the settings you have.

Thanks for your help NooNoo. But everything seems to be set up correctly. I have 3 modes on this monitor, Economy, Text and Picture mode. When it is set on picture mode everything seems fine with the screen but on economy and text mode I get feedback and lines...sound doesn't work at all still. I might have to save some money and just get another monitor. I haven't had the best luck when it comes to monitors. The one that came with the computer has a problem...black screen. like a bulb is burnt out. Again, thanks for your help.

The modes only affect the brightness of the screen, they shouldn't be affecting the sound. I would phone Westinghouse, there is a number at the back of the manual I linked.
