A user reports that the projector in the conference room displays the presentation correctly, but no sound is coming from its built-in speakers. You confirm that the projector's volume is turned up and it is not muted. Which of the following should you check NEXT to continue troubleshooting?
Confirm that the computer's audio output is set to the projector instead of its internal speakers or another device.
Reinstall the audio driver on the computer connected to the projector.
Verify that the audio (or HDMI) cable is securely connected to both the computer and the projector.
Restore the projector to its factory default settings.
If the projector shows video but no audio, the next logical step is to verify the physical audio path. A loose, damaged, or incorrectly connected audio (or HDMI) cable is one of the most common causes of this symptom. Physical layer checks should be performed before deeper software fixes such as driver reinstalls or a factory reset, which are more time-consuming and unlikely to resolve a simple connectivity issue.
