Windows 10: no output sound to external speakers xps 8940

no output sound to external speakers xps 8940

:)

 

No sound output

Have sound problems.

Default output device is set to: Speakers Realtek Audio. The speakers are plugged into the green SPEAKER OUT 3.5mm jack on the back of the Dell 8940 XPS chassis.

The speakers in my monitor are not present as an option. Used to be, but not any more.

Default input device is set to: Microphone AudioPro X5 Microphone (USB).

I have NO sound output. Output volume is set to 53%. Audio enhancements are OFF.

VLC crashes immediately. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same deal.

Microsoft Troubleshooter found no problems.

Have no idea what to try next.

Help appreciated.

how to select the output audio speakers

To change the speaker output on Windows Media Player, you can try the following steps:

1. Open Windows Media Player.
   
2. Click on “Tools” and then “Options”.
   
3. Click on the “Devices” tab.
   
4. Click on “Speakers” and then “Properties”.
   
5. Select the audio device you want to use and click on “OK”.
   
6. You may also have to restart WMP for changes to take effect.
   

If the above steps don’t work, you can try changing the default sound device in Windows 11. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.
   
2. Click on “System” and then “Sound”.
   
3. Under the “Output” section, click on the “Choose where to play sound” setting.
   
4. Select the speakers, headphones, or headsets you want to use.
