Hi Ibrahim That's what I thought of doing, just thought there might be a shortcut than messing about with all those wires! Will be back with results.

If your using an external speaker system including monitor speakers, try testing the sound output from your pc by plugging headphones in to the same socket as the TV or whatever is connected. If the sound still sounds weak and tinny, its probably your computer sound card in which case updated drivers might solve your issue. Also, try plugging the monitor speakers in to an mp3 player, radio or similar device to check the sound output from them. Let us know how you get on. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Wilson To: Access-UK Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 6:58 PM Subject: [access-uk] Problem with speakers Hi all The problem I am having is with my PC speakers. The unit is about four years old. The device I am using is a Samsung TV with PC connectivity. So it has the screen and speakers and is connected to the PC via all the correct cables. Today when I came back to the PC the sound has gone all distorted. It is tinny and vibrating if that makes sense? Rather like something is loose or how cheap speakers go when you turn them up too loud. I have checked all the wires and no loose connections. I have restarted the PC several times but no joy. This has happened a couple of times in the last month or so, but usuallly a restart solves the problem. So, what can I do to discover if the problem is with the PC or the speakers? And any ideas what the problem might be? It would be impossible to listen to this for long periods of time.
