No sound from Boston Acoustics BA735 speakers

[Tanishka]

Last night while browsing across the internet I found new updates of MacAfee antivirus. So I downloaded the new updates and installed it. My system was working fine after the installation of new updates. When I started the system in morning, opened the media player for playing music then I found that while playing the song there has been no sound from my Boston Acoustics BA735 speaker. I tried to restart the system so that the speaker problem may be fixed but failed. I need a solution so that I can troubleshoot this problem.

You need to check the speaker connections connected into the computer system. If the speakers connections are losing then due to this lose connection sound problem may appear. If the speaker are still not working by checking the connection then there might be are problem with the sound card. You can replace the sound card and the no sound from the speaker will be resolved.
