My laptop has sound but isn't playing music - help!

[tonynguyen10]

Hey all,

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW. At first, the only problem I had was no bass. I could hear the tremble fine, but no bass at all. I started clicking around under some sound settings and no I have no music at all however, when I "test" the speakers, I hear the test noise going off.

How do I fix this? Thanks!

Tony, what are you using to play music and you can verify that NO mute feature is on, be it within the music player or the PC itself?

I'm using Pandora.

I actually closed out the tab and reopened. The music plays but still the same problem - no bass.

I was going at this as you said you now had no music, not no bass, from the original post.

If you put headphones in the headphone jack of the laptop instead, still no bass?

Laptop speakers are not typically of very good music playing quality, either.

Which model # you have there, did a search and Sony made a lot of them, and looks like it's likely well aged, also not exactly working in your favor.

when I plug in headphones, yes I have bass.

I have after market speakers - Cyber Acoustics Subwoofer Satellite System (CA-3602a) or Amazon.com: Cyber Acoustics Subwoofer Satellite System (CA-3602a): Electronics

No bass when I use them =(
