Please reinstall the soundcard in the device manager and install it in control panel under hardware again. Install the driver as well and it should be fine. Good luck.
see if maybe you have it on mute. It happends.
the faint beeps my be coming from the beeper not your speakers. Try re-installing the drivers/firmware for the speakers, contacting IBM customer support if necessary. Also, make sure there aren't any loose/not connected cables.
IBM thinkpads have keys on the keyboard to turn the volume up and down. It is usually a combination of holding one key and pressing the other. Like shift and the key for vol up or down. It has been a while since I have messed with one so I don't know the exact keys. Look closely at the keyboard. I think it may be written in blue?? Good luck. Hope this helps.
You press down Fn (bottom left) and the little black sound buttons (top left) usually. I have the same problem but its been since my husband reinstalled windows and got rid of all the IBM support stuff - ARRRGGGHH!
