Windows 10: sound only from Dell computer speaker

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

cant get any sound on computer or speakers

Thank you for getting back to us. Since you have mentioned that the computer was moved to a different room, we would like to verify if the connections of your computer peripherals (speakers) are connected to the correct ports. If you are using speakers connected
to a USB port, we suggest that you try to plug it in a different USB port.

If the issue persists, you may also try these steps:

• Type Device Manager on Cortana's search field and press
  Enter.
• Under Sound, video and game controllers, select your sound card.
• Open it, select the Driver tab.
• Select Update Driver.

Note: If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow the instructions.

Let us know if you will need further assistance.
