No Sound from Dell Dimension 3000

My Dimension 3000 didn't come with external speakers, but shouldn't it still have INTERNAL speakers?  There is no sound at all even though I made sure all speaker settings are on high, and none were on mute.  During setup, it didn't indicate trouble with the speakers.  Is there something else I have to do to be able to hear stuff on this computer, or does it just not come with sound???

    You will need "powered" external computer speakers - "powered" speakers are ones that have a built in power amplifier. 

    I've seen powered 2.1 speakers for under $30 at Wal-Mart.

    Thank you very much for your help!  I've been trying to reach the company, but haven't had any luck.  It seems like they don't want to be contacted!  I'll check out WalMart.

    hi catgirl,
     
    the dimension range of computers do not have an internal speaker. but they do have integrated sound. integrated sound means the sound card is integrated on the motherboard. should not be mistaken for internal speakers. the dimension range of computers still requires external speakers for any sound.
