    Computer Speaker Questioin....
    « on: April 12, 2017, 06:41:47 PM »
    I just got another computer, a Dell Optiplex 780 with Windows 7 professional on it. The problem is that my set of pc speakers won't work on this pc because the computer has a built-in speaker. It is like listening to a transistor radio back in the 70's! What can i do to get my speakers to work on this pc? They worked fine with my last pc just a few weeks ago.
    Thanks!

    What happens when you plug your speakers in to the rear audio out jack?  It should automatically switch off the internal speaker.  If not, go into the sound control panel and see if you need to set the external speakers as default.
