My computer was taken to the shop and everything was deleted. I have it back now, but the speakers are plugged in but they won't work! I don't have the disk to install them (is there a disk?) and I need sound! How do I install these speakers???

Normally with a speaker, all you have to do is plug them in. Are you sure you have them plugged into the right spot? You can look on the cambridge site and probably download a configuration tool, but you shouldnt really need drivers as the computer isnt really doing anything to them, you just plug them in.

check cables, check overall volume on pc, and for creative labs for example there is a sound mixer with volume labels for different types of inputs\n\nStill not working?  Check for switch on speakers, are they plugged in\n\nStill not working? Bring up control panel -> sounds -> check mute button, check volume, click on a sound  like asterisk, hit play still no sound?\n\nFind a geek...

1. Turn off the computer, fully.   Then restart it and try your music again.\n\n2. If you still don't hear anything, DOUBLE-CLICK on the volume icon and see if ANY slide controls are muted, if there is anything muted, UNMUTE it.\n\n3. If this fails.  Click on Start-programs-control panel-system-hardware-device manager - cllick on "sound, video and game controllers" and make sure all the devices are "recognized" (don't have a yellow question mark) if they do, then right click and ROLL BACK DRIVER \n\n4. Oh!, and please make sure your speakers are: 1. ON  2. plugged in, 3. try a different CD

Sound cards aren't downloadable - that's hardware. The drivers are another story. If you you know what make of soundcard you have you can do a search to see if it is available or check with a technician at any reputable computer store, Ie. Compusmart. etc.

you may need a sound card. but i'm no computer expert. I just know when I had no sound that was my problem.

Go to http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/ and look for your computer model and sound card and download the driver.

use windows restore, or rollback the drivers. if it dose not acknolwledge the sound card still open the case and wiggle the sound card if it is not on the motherbord if wiggleing dose not work your sound card is bad you will need a new one, if so go here for a cheap one.\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/

by the sounds of it you droped your sound drivers... What you need to do is this first off check to see if the device is working properly to do this you need to click on start then click on control panel then click on system up at the top you will see some tabs.. click on hardware and in the second box you will see device manager. Click on the device manager box and wait for it to load. Then scroll down until you see sound,video and game controler click on that and it will bring up the list of things you have within. If you see any astrick near any of those things such as realteck AC97 audio and it has a astrick you will need to relaod the drivers for the sound. To do this you need the cd that has either come with your computer or if this is not a name brand computer you should have a mainboard cd. When you put this into your computer just reaload the drivers for the audio and everything should be fine from there... hope this helps

If you have xp you should be able to plug and play.  Go to your control panel and click on sound and audio devices. Go to speaker settings advanced and make sure you have everything set up correctly.  If not set it up on the right devices and restart computer.  If this doesnt work you might want to make sure you have actual hardware on your computer like a sbwave sound device.  Youcan check this by going into sound devices and clicking on the hardware tab.

Make sure you are logged in as an administrator.\nThen go to Driverguide.com, you will need to register, but if you cant find your driver on there.. you wont find it anywhere.\n\nIf you have already downloaded the files (extracted all zip files).. Go into settings control panel, system, hardware, devicemanager.. then right click on the offending sound device.. and click update driver.. if it doesnt do it automatically, point it manually (brows for location) and see if it installs the drivers for you. Do you know what kind of mother board you have.. post it on here and someone might be able to give you an exact link to the drivers you need- since it seems your sound card is built in on the mother board.

it's pretty difficult to help on such a vague question. give a short history\n- when did you hear the speakers for the last time?\n- what did you do in the mean time? (did you install any obscure programs)\n- always helpful is to mention what operating system you use (Windows, Linux etc.)\n\nedit:\nthanks for the response. It seems like an issue with the amplifier. What's up with headphones or external speakers, did you already try that? In case this doesn't work, you have to go to the vendor with your laptop.

U mean "Your audio devices don't work properly". If yes,\nYou'll have to get the audio installation CD (given with piece). If you don't have the CD you'll have to download its driver from its company site
