Configuring Speaker and Sound Options 61

Using a 5.1 to 7.1 speaker system with headphones

For select models that include a 5.1 or higher

If the control tower displays HP (for headphones),

the headphones are enabled; the sound to the

speakers and the subwoofer is muted.

■ Push and hold the On button on the control

tower for several seconds to enable sound

from the speakers.

■ Press the On button briefly to enable the

headphones.

Resolving Sound Issues

If you don’t have sound from your speakers, check

the following:

■ Check volume and mute settings. See “Using

Headphones” on page 60.

■ Use active, powered speakers, or speakers

with an amplifier.

■ Verify sound cable connections.

■ Make sure the software program and sound

software are configured.

■ Some programs may result in low volume,

even when the Volume knob is turned to the

maximum position. If this is the case,

double-click the Volume icon on the taskbar,

and increase the volume.

■ Reconfigure the sound software for

surround sound.

■ Reinstall the sound card drivers by using

HP Application Recovery. See “Application

Recovery” in the PC Troubleshooting and

Maintenance Guide.
