Double click the Sound icon to adjust the volume.

Plug It In The computer used to make all kinds of beeps and sounds. Now, it doesn’t say anything. Where would you look to see what happened? Take Control: Good troubleshooting starts with connections, connections, connections. Nine times out of ten the problem is connections. Look at the back of the computer and see if the speakers are still plugged in.   Now, look at the settings. Windows has a little icon for controlling the volume level. Look at the far right of the Task Bar. Do you see a small horn by the time?   Click once on the horn and a volume control will pop up. Is there a check mark on the mute option? That would do it. Is the volume control slid all the way down to the off position? That will silence the trumpets, too.
