Your speakers could be getting old and need replacing. Your cable or hook up point could need tightening, your sound card could be getting old or damaged and need replacing. I would go with eiher the speakers or sound card needing replacing. \n\nYou can do a sound check. Go into control panel then to sound and audio devices. At the bottom of the fist tab (Volume) go to advanced and make sure the selection on your systems speakers is as closely matched to the configuaration you have. I had to adjust mine just the other day. Then go to the Hardware tab and highlight the major device used for sound on your system and click on troubleshooting or properties as needed. Follow the directions provided. Highlight each selection and read what it says at the bottom of the screen. If it says "this device is working properly" no further action is required for that hardware. If it says anything else THEN do what I said on going to trouble shooting. lol Got ahead of myself for a moment. \n\nI think you may need to either adjust settings or replace speakers/soundcard\n\nGood luck in fixing your problem.

Have you rebooted your computer? I used to have this problem intermittently, and often a reboot would fix the problem. It seemed to be some kind of weird Windows problem where it would lose track of the sound card. If the reboot doesn't work, the second step is to remove the sound card from the device manager and reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it, you may be looking for some new hardware. Best of luck!

Maybe you forgot install the software to operate the mike. The speaker operate properly because they have software of its own to play the sounds. The problem your having is just missing software. Better ask your techinician about that. There should be no charge, because the technician was the one who reinstalled your Windows, and it's their fault. Now they must fix it.

This happened to me once.  A good friend explained to me that I needed to go in and uninstall and reinstall all of the sound(audio) crap.  I followed all of his instructions and still NO SOUND. I wasn't happy.  Oh well, I took it to these awesome guys here in our city.  They fixed it.  You may have to find someone who won't rip you off.  My biggest problem was Windows ME.  It caused me nothing but problems.  I have XP Professional now and it's smooth sailing.  Good luck!!

you need to reinstall your sound system.\n\nusally it soundmax or something. Its on your Dell Accessories disc (if you have a dell).\n\nthe bleep is is the only sound a computer knows how to make.

first open the sound properties from the control panel and make sure that none of the volume meters are all the way down.  if everything is hooked up right and you dont get sound you probably have a bad sound card.  try dialing up using a traditional modem and see if you get the annoying fax sound from your computer

Take your sound card out and make sure your computer still works. Then try putting it back in.

try changing your default Audio output device in \n"Sounds and audio devices".

Possible Things To Check:\nGo To Sub-Menu CONTROL PANELS - SOUNDS AND AUDIO DEVICES\n It is possible that one of the MUTE check boxes may be\nchecked. Uncheck the boxes if checked.\n On many computers there are two holes next to each other   for SOUND plug-in and MICROPHONE plug-in. You may have this mixed up, check this.\n Check for updated drivers by doing the following...\nGo to "START" Sub-Menu and access Application "RUN". Type in "compmgmt.msc" and hit "OK" button. In this application go to "device manager" and double check the "sound" sub-menu for a yellow triangle symbol. If you see one, you need to update the driver, this will sound the problem.\n\nThis is what I recommend :)

I had this happen before your soundcard drivers have not loaded correctly.  Restart your system.  The problem should correct itself.

I would reinstall your audio driver. If you have Windows XP, you can type 'dxdiag' in 'run', for more information.

Is your sound board OK? Can you hear other sounds like the Windows startup sound? If not, you need special drivers to make your sound board work

check the device manager- look for any question marks or exclamation points. this is a good place to start to see what the problem is. if nothing in device manager try different set of speakers-it probably isn't the speakers but it is relatively easy to eliminate. if that does not work try updating the drivers in device manager or uninstalling the device all together and reboot the system. winxp pro should redetect the sound card and prompt you to reinstall the driver or it will do it automatically for you. hope this helps

First check your speakers by plugging a known portable player to the input of the speakers and see if you have sound.  But be sure that you have the power supply turned on and connected to the speakers.  If you have sound then you can work to the sound card.  By that I mean be sure that your comnection from the speakers is in the proper input on the back of the computer and the connections are tight. (Which is labeled speakers). Or a symble of a speaker indicating the audio output.  If that don't help you may have to go into your bios setup and check that the audio codek is checked properly.  To go into the bios you may have to at boot up wait till you hear the first beep and hit the delete key and wait till the cmoss screen comes up then you can look through the settings and then determine what to do.  But be carefull ,  You may wan't to mark down anything that you change what it was before you changed it and to what you changed it to so that you can return it to its orginal spot if it dosen't work.  Hint most audio drivers are of the AC97 codek, Hope this helps.
