"Hi my name is Dave Andrews and today I am going to show you how to reset the audio on a computer. Let's go to the control panel on our computer, click on our start menu and we are just going to type in the search function in Vista control and then we'll have the control panel as one of the programs that returns. Now make sure you are on the classic view and let's find, scroll down until we find sounds. There it is and I am just going to open up the sound interface. Now this shows you the output of the capabilities that you have as well as the input capabilities. We are most concerned with our playback as we are trying to restore our audio and we are concerned with the sounds section. Now what this is listing out is the sound theme that Windows is currently using. You can either choose by default. You can remove all sounds from your programs as Windows is running or you can use the Windows default sounds. So as you can see if I scroll down each one of these events has a sound associated with it that you can change. I will click on asterisk and we'll make sure that this is working by selecting the test button and I heard that sound as it played so we know that that sound is working. Now if no sound is selected you won't hear anything in your Windows programs as you use them but the Windows default will cause these Windows programs to sound when the items occur. Now we also want to make sure that our speakers are outputting data so we are going to go to the playback tab, select the speakers and then we are going to click on configure or rather properties which is down at the bottom. After you click properties you get the option to change several things about your speakers. What we're concerned with is the level so just make sure that this level is turned up to around the 90, 85 or 90% level. If it is way down here at the bottom you are not going to hear anything from your speakers. My name is Dave Andrews and I have just showed you how to reset the audio in a computer."
