CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 98

A laptop does not have any audio output from the built-in speakers. The Windows Device Manager shows a down arrow for the audio device. Which of the following will correct this audio issue?

Answer options

• A. Replacing the speakers
• B. Increasing the volume
• C. Enabling the audio device
• D. Updating the driver

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as enabling the audio device will allow the laptop to recognize and use the built-in speakers. Option A is incorrect because replacing the speakers is unnecessary if the device is simply disabled. Option B does not address the underlying issue of the device being disabled, and option D, while potentially useful, does not resolve the immediate problem of the audio device being inactive.
