No sound from laptop

[Meemz]

hi! I have no sound coming from my laptop although the pc shows that the sound/speakers are working properly in the device manager. wouldn't the pc alert if the sound card was bad? Please help!!!!!

Quite often there is a mute button on your laptop, check that isn't pressed.

Try <Fn+F3>. On some you push in on the volume control wheel instead.

The mute button is off and the Fn F3 did not work. The Fn and F8 has a volume setting but that is also showing that it is working. Anymore ideas?

If it's xp:

control panel > sounds and audio devices > audio

once you're there make sure the correct default device for audio playback is selected.
