Before attempting the other troubleshooting steps in this article, we suggest you restart your computer and test the audio to check if the problem is resolved. Becuase chances are, an application may be controlling your device or preventing other applications from using it.

5. Contact the customer service

1. Install all Windows updates

Windows updates are used to keep Microsoft Windows and several other Microsoft programs updated. They often include feature enhancements and security updates to protect Windows from the malware attacks which would probably lead to sound failures. Therefore, you should download and install the latest Windows updates to check if this helps you fix the issue.

Here’s how you can do this:

1) In the Search box, type incheck for updates. ClickCheck for updatesfrom results.

2) Click on theCheck for updatestab. If there are any updates available, it’ll automatically start to download and install it. Simply wait for it to complete and you should be asked to restart your computer.

Once you’ve installed the latest Windows updates, try to play a song to check if your speakers are functioning properly. If not, try the next fix below.

2. Set your speakers as the default

When you connect the external speakers to your computer, your system would recognize it. But there are some situations where the sound may not come from your external speakers. That’s because your device isn’t set as the default audio playback device that Windows uses to output sound. In this case, you need to manually set your speakers as the default:

1) From the bottom-right corner of your screen, right-click on the Speaker icon and select Open Sound settings.

3) Under the Playback tab, click on your Creative Pebble speakers and click Set Default.

Once you’ve done that, verify via the speaker icon in the taskbar that the audio is not muted and is turned up. Then you can test by playing a song. If your Creative Pebble speakers still won’t produce any sound, don’t worry, there are a few other fixes you can try.

3. Update your sound driver

If you are experiencing audio issues, you may need to check if your sound card driver is outdated or faulty. Using outdated drivers can affect performance and you may lack certain features required for the speakers to function properly. Therefore, you need to update your sound driver as this may solve your issue immediately.
