- Does another source work? (If podium computer or Bluray player works, try plugging in your laptop again)

No audio?:

- Is room volume on touchscreen turned up a bit?

- Laptop: Is the volume on the laptop turned up and source selected? (HDMI button for HDMI connection, etc?)

- Try turning the AV Mute ON then back OFF. Sometimes this resets a stuck setting.

Assistive Listening Devices

Each of these rooms are equipped with integrated infrared listening systems and have the following:

A battery charger that charges 2 batteries (one per side)
(2) headsets
(2) batteries

The headsets, batteries, and charger are all located in the locked cabinet of the Podium. Faculty needs to have an A/V key (available from Key Issues or short-term checkout from Media Loan) to unlock this cabinet. Signage is posted indicating the classroom has Assistive systems available.

If you are approached by someone who needs to use the equipment, they will need a headset and a battery, and a mic will need to be unmuted at the podium

If the podium is being used, the podium mic is recommended; if presenting from somewhere other than the podium (chalkboard, tables in middle of the room, moving while speaking) then the wireless mic and batteries can also be found in the podium.

For any problems at all, or for assistance getting an Assistive Listening system working, please call x6270 as soon as possible. Assistive Listening is a very important communication tool for everyone who needs it.
If you notice any Assistive Listening equipment missing, please call x6270 to report so we can fix the problem quickly.
