The Audio is Distorted or Not Working

The sound is not working correctly through either the headphones, speakers, or both.

Loose Headphone Jack

Test the audio through the computer speakers and then test it using headphones. If the audio is only distorted while listening via headphones, the audio jack or the headphones themselves may be faulty. Audio that cuts in and out is often a sign of a loose audio jack, so make sure the audio jack is fully inserted in the computer. Otherwise, new headphones may be required.

If Your Driver Begins to Malfunction

If the audio sound is malfunctioning when on through the speakers, the audio driver may be corrupt. Find and search for the Lenovo G70-80. Click on Notebook and then select Drivers and Software. Select “Audio” and then download the driver. Then, go to Control Panel, Device Manager, and, Sound Control. Select sound card and then click to update your driver. Find your driver, now updated, and proceed to restart the computer.
