When I click on it goes through the troubleshooting wizard and can't find a problem. I've tried re-installing drivers, etc. No sound comes through built in speakers or headphones.</P><P></P><P>My question is, will wireless speakers work?</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Chris</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:49:08 GMT https://community.sony.dk/t5/pcs-accessories/no-sound-on-laptop/m-p/365504#M18872 biggerdunk 2012-10-04T23:49:08Z Re: No sound on laptop... https://community.sony.dk/t5/pcs-accessories/no-sound-on-laptop/m-p/365505#M18873 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Chris,</P><P></P><P>Whether wireless speakers, or USB speakers for that matter, will work depends on the nature of the problem.</P><P></P><P>It would have been helpful to know your model and current OS but check the following.</P><P></P><P>1 Open Services (click start and type services.msc in the search field) and check that Windows Audio Service is started and running and is set as Automatic start.</P><P></P><P>2 Right click the speaker icon in the system tray and select Playback Devices.
