No speakers?

Vintage Mu

I guess I will drop any notion of getting speakers.. Could be Xitron is a rip off artist and be glad the package came in perfect condition. Pricegrabber should take them off their list of places to buy computers.

Answer
did anything on the side of the box say speakers were included with the system (sometimes, just tower based systems will come with just the tower, a keyboard, a mouse, the AC cord, and restore or OS install packages)??

if it did, then you have a way to call someone with a problem..

if not.. its a trip to wal-mart for a $10 set of speakers (which is about the quality of speakers you'd get anyway)

My speakers are gone mute?

bahara

I have a Dell inspiration n5110 and for some reasons the systems speakers are gone totally mute as well as the Fn buttons are not working :( please help

Answer
You can unmute the speakers by using the pointer, going over to the system tray (that's the stuff on the lower right of the screen) and working the volume there... just look for the speaker icon.

The function button is another matter. You likely have a failed keyboard - might just be a sticking key (such as the ALT or CTRL) that is causing a problem with the Fn key in the middle.

So you can work around the speaker volume, but you need some hands-on help with the keyboard so that you can do the rest of the function key operations such as screen brightness, etc.

What do I need to hook up my HP DV6000 laptop as a regular Desktop PC? I want to primarily use it as a desktop

speaker system for keyboard image

endznow

I have an HP DV6000 notebook computer that I want to have up and running with a monitor, printer, and speaker system. The problem is that i don't see many of those connectors on my notebook. What do I need to get set besides the actual monitor, etc.??

Answer
If your laptop has a connector for a port replicator or docking station buying one is probably the best way to do it.

I suspect it doesn't though so you'll need to connect the monitor, printer and speakers separately. There should be a VGA port for the monitor somewhere and a line out port for external speakers on the computer with USB handling the rest (printer, keyboard, mouse, etc, if you don't have enough USB ports buying a USB hub would be the answer to that).

What computer sound system can you suggest, for a guy who wants to make electronic music?

Arlh

Hey everyone
Christmas is coming up and i wanted to add a few wishes to my wishlist. Does anyone out here have any recommendations for a great computer sound system (speakers and bass). In particular, something that doesnt cost much more than 250£, but still has a kicking bass and top-notch sound quality, if that is even possible.
On a side note, do you have any recommendations for a good midi keyboard?

Answer
You really need to go out and listen for yourself. For everyone that claims that brand x or model y is the best, there is an equal opposite opinion. What some people call deep bass others won't, or they will find it loose or boomy. Since you will be making electronic music through them, they will essentially be part of the instrument, which is probably not a good thing. With electric guitar, the speakers are a big part of the sound, which is why so many guitar plug ins for recording have speaker emulation. You will probably want the speakers as neutral or 'clinical' sounding as possible, to avoid having the sounds dependent on your particular speakers. Also, make sure you look at the issue of durability. You can put out some pretty nasty waveforms digitally, and this can fry high frequency drivers and crossovers in cheaper speakers. Another concern would be what listening environment the speakers will be placed in. Near field monitors are usually not very good at imaging, except in a very tightly defined area. In other words, high frequency beaming means the treble response will drop off if the listener is not right in the sweet spot, where the full range comes through, so these would not make good speakers to fill a room. There's a ton of choices, so your best bet is to stick with speakers sold by music stores, rather than trying to get the most watts for the least money. Of all the websites I've found, http://www.Sweetwater.com has the widest selection, best organization and most thorough descriptions and reviews overall. So, I'd start there and narrow down the choices to something manageable and then search for a couple of more reviews on other sites, and then search for the best price/service deal.

As for a midi keyboard, that depends on what you are looking for: a strict midi controller, a keyboard with built in sound capability, or something with integrated control surface, such as transport controls for start/stop while recording, pads for percussion, etc. Something else to research at Sweetwater.
