3) After installation, check if it works.

If the audio driver is installed and working, but there is still no sound, try the following:

o Is the speaker connected correctly? To PC? Is the power turned on if power is required? Is it turned on?

· Is the sound device disabled?

A. On the desktop, right-click (or touch) the speaker icon in the taskbar and select “Playback device”.

B. Right-click (or touch) a white blank area and select “Show disconnected devices> and “Show disabled devices”.

C. If you see the speaker and headset icons at this time, right-click (or touch) the correct sound device and select “Set as default device”.
