■ Verify sound cable connections.
■ Check Volume and Mute settings. See “Adjusting the Volume” on page 132.

I have low volume
sound from my
speakers.
■ Check volume and mute settings. See “Adjusting the Volume” on page 132.
■ Some programs may result in low volume, even when the volume setting within the
program is turned to the maximum position. If this is the case, double-click the
Volume icon on the taskbar and increase volume.
My TV audio
volume increases
or decreases when
I change channels.
Reduce the volume level before changing channels. Your analog audio levels may be
noticeably higher than your SD/HDTV channel audio levels. The channel sound
volume is controlled by the content provider.
