Bring up the Volume Control. Be sure that all appropriate Playback
volume settings are not muted and are set at a reasonable volume.
Also, go to the Switches tab and be sure that "External Amplifier" is
checked. I had to do this to get the internal laptop speakers to work,
even though externally connected speakers worked fine.
