1

Look at the bottom right of your screen

Find the little speaker icon.

2

Click the speaker icon

A small slider will appear. Drag the dot to the right to make it louder.

3

Check your headphones

If you have headphones plugged in, sound comes from them — not the computer's speakers.

4

Still no sound?

Try restarting the computer. That fixes many little problems.

Stuck on a step?

Take a picture of your screen and I will tell you exactly what to click.
