No matter what type of activity you do on your computer, you will also need some sound. Whether if you watch a movie, play a video game or listen to some music, you will definitely need some computer speakers (or headphones, but today we are going to talk just about speakers). Usually any new computer comes with a default set of speakers. But these are not so powerful, and they also don’t give such a good sound quality.










So that’s why many people are choosing to buy a new set of speakers. Some are choosing to buy some new stereo speakers, while others choose to buy some more powerful speakers, for example a surround sound system, or some floor standing speakers. So let’s say you bought a computer, then you bought some new speakers for it and you used them for a few months, or even a few years.







But after some time it is possible that you have some problems with your computer. Some times you may be able to fix it, but in other cases you may need to buy a new computer. And an issue encountered by many users is when they have a problem, such as new computer and old speakers don’t work. No matter if it’s the case of the original old speakers from the old computer, or the new speakers you bought, they might not work when you connect them to a new computer.



Here are some solutions that you can try to solve this problem out. Some of them may work for some users, but they may not work for others. But anyway it is the best to try them all, and see which one is the best for you. And if you know some other solutions please share them with us, and maybe you can help someone who is in trouble!



First of all you might check if the new computer has the appropriate sound card. Maybe you are using a surround sound audio system, and your old computer had a 5.1 sound card. But the new computer may have just a regular sound card, so that’s why your system might not work at all, or the sound quality may not be so good. In this case you can take the sound card from the old computer (if you had one), or buy a new one and place it on the new computer.



But placing a new sound card may not fix your "new computer and old speakers don't work" problem. You must also install the appropriate drivers for the sound card or from the speaker. You may find them on a CD that came along with the sound card or with the speakers, or you can find them on the internet, by typing the exact model you have. After installing the drivers, open the software and see if all the volume levels are at maximum. Also check out if none of the channels is muted. If the “Mute” option is checked, please uncheck it.







Another problem may be if you didn’t plug the speakers into the appropriate jack. Maybe the new computer has a slightly different configuration, and you may placed the speakers in the wrong hole. So check this also, and also be sure that the speakers are turned on and working properly. Well, these were just some solutions that you can use, but of course there are many more others. And you can find them in other articles from our site. Good luck!
