How to make sound on a computer without speakers

Most desktop computers often use a variety of speakers to reproduce sound. However, they sooner or later fail. This often happens at the most inopportune moment, when you need to hear what is happening on the screen. Let's figure out what to do in this situation.

Is it possible to play sound without speakers on a computer?

There are several alternative solutions to this problem. The easiest thing to implement is to connect headphones to the same port where the speakers were connected before. In this case, you can enjoy high-quality sound, if, of course, the device allows it.

Another option is the ability to play through the built-in speaker of the sound card. However, it can help if there is no need for high-quality reproduction, since the purity of the emitted signals leaves much to be desired, to put it mildly.

TVs can also play sound from a computer. This is especially easy to do on modern models that have an HDMI connector; the same connector should be in the computer. If this is not available, the following types of cables can be used as an alternative:

• RCA;
• RJ45;
• Dvi;
• VGA.

It is possible to transmit the signal wirelessly using a Wi-Fi router.

Reference! Among monitor manufacturers, there are companies that produce this equipment with built-in speakers. They are able to cope well with the task of reproduction.

Turn on sound on a computer without speakers: step by step

To receive a signal, you need to complete several steps. Each individual case has its own characteristics, but the main ones are found almost everywhere. Here they are:

1. The first thing you need to do is check for a driver for your sound card. If it is not there, then you need to start installing the software. Usually a disk with it is included with the system unit. If it is not there, then today any driver can be downloaded for free from the official website of the card manufacturer or on specialized IT portals.
2. Next you need to connect the equipment that reproduces the sound. Be sure to check the correct connection. In this case, manuals and operating instructions for equipment are very helpful.
3. Adjust the volume level on the device to a comfortable level.

In most cases, the sound appears immediately, after which you can enjoy your work.

Important! Before operation, it is important to make sure that the connected equipment is in working order, since the sound may not be reproduced in this case either.

Possible problems

Things don't always go smoothly. Very often, various problems arise during the connection process. Let's look at the most common of them:

1. Driver problem. It is very common among users, especially when installing a new operating system, and “firewood” is also lost during a software update. The check must be carried out in the “Toolbar” in the “Device Manager” item. The installed driver is displayed in the properties of the sound card.
2. Problems with the BIOS. There are cases when the sound is turned off by the system by default. This can be corrected using the BIOS in the “High Definition Audio” section. It should be set to "Enabled".
3. The playback device is incorrectly selected. This parameter is set differently in different versions of the operating system. However, you need to know that the connected device is not always determined by default; sometimes it must be selected from the appropriate list.
4. Unsupported connection format. This is especially common when using an HDMI cable. The video card is not capable of transmitting an audio signal using this method in some cases. Before using this method, you need to read the manual.

Problems with the signal cease to be a problem if you approach it wisely. Most of the problems that arise here can be solved very simply; all you need to do is be smart and patient.
