      System Check – Step 4: Sound Check

      Description

      The sound check makes sure that you can hear sounds played from the server. It also ensures that your internet connection speed is sufficient for that.

      Troubleshooting tips for the sound check

      In case you encounter issues with the sound check:

      1. We recommend that you use a headset in order to avoid excessive feedback.
      2. Check if the you’ve correctly connected your headset or speakers to your device.
      3. Check if your headset has a “mute” switch. Make sure you switch it to “off”.
      4. Check the volume levels of your headset using the volume button which could be found on
         the cable.
      5. Make sure that the sound is not disabled from the operating system options
      6. Check if the headset or speakers plug(s) is well and fully inserted into the correct jack.
      7. Ensure that the headphones/speakers and microphone plugs are inserted into the right jacks.
      8. The headphones, speakers and microphone plugs look alike, so make sure the right plug is
         inserted into the right jack. Pay attention to the corresponding symbols.
      9. If your computer has a button used to disable all sounds (usually located above the
         keyboard), please make sure that you switch it off.
