CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 111

A user replaced the external speakers for a workstation, but the new speakers are not producing sound. Which of the following is MOST likely the issue?

Answer options

• A. The speakers are plugged into the microphone port
• B. The user did not install batteries into the speakers
• C. The sound card is not enabled in Device Manager
• D. The user did not complete the software setup

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because plugging the speakers into the wrong port, such as the microphone port, would prevent them from producing sound. Option B is incorrect as most external speakers do not require batteries. Option C is also not the primary issue since even if the sound card were disabled, it would not lead to the speakers being physically connected incorrectly. Option D is less likely since basic functionality should work without additional software setup.
