| 1229546 | 2011-09-08 02:10:00 | Hi guys. Need some help with getting lappie to run through my desktop speakers that were previously connected to my now-dead desktop. I've chucked the plug from the desktop into either of the only two ports available on the lappie, but still get the sound through the lappie speakers, but the desktop speakers crackle and pop when I put the plug in...so there is some 'connection' ! I've gone to Sounds In Control Panel and poked and prodded :cool: and turned off 'default settings'...just coz it looked like a good thing to do! But alas, no sound.. Any ideas? Cheers.. Oh - I've done this before many moons ago so I know it DOES work, but they were different speakers. But I can't see that would matter... |

| 1229547 | 2011-09-08 02:23:00 | Are you sure you plugged the speakers into the Line Out port and not the microphone port? Have to ask sorry... | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1229548 | 2011-09-08 02:28:00 | Not a bad question. The lappie only has 2 ports...and I tried both. One drops the volume of the lappie speakers when plug is inserted...the other makes the desktop speakers crackle when plug is inserted. Neither makes the desktop speakers take over from the lappie speakers.... |

| 1229549 | 2011-09-08 02:58:00 | just asking ..... Are they powered speakers ?? test the speakers on a mp3 player or something (could be faulty??) is there a volume control next to the speaker jack, or a F key to turn up the volume ?? Is it the right size jack plug (2.5mm, 3.5mm) |
