Check your connections and make sure they are connected correctly.\n\nHow long did you have your speakers for?\nIts possible that you might need to get new speakers. All hardware has a life limit. Some just last longer than others. \n\nI can help you if you lost sound or if your sound card is not working correctly, but static speakers is a hardware problem.\n\nEdit: Hmm maybe its conflicting with another hardware. Do you have any webcams or mics attached to your computer? Try pulling the jack out and plug it in again. Remove any magnetic devices that might be screwing with your computer. TAke out any additional hardware and see if that helps, like a webcam or mic, etc.\n\nIs it both speakers? If its just one, maybe you can just mute one of them and just use the other one.

When it comes to speakers, check all the simple things first.  Make sure the speakers are turned on, and if they have power, make sure it's connected.  Also make sure the speaker output plug is plugged in all the way into the sound card (the 1/8 in plug on the back of the computer).  Sometimes, if a system gets moved, or a cord gets caught on something, it will pull the plug out JUST slightly, enough that you don't notice right away, but enough to where the grounding ring on the plug isn't lined up correctly.  \n\nAfter checking all that, next check the volume settings in windows.  Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.  If this is Windows XP, and you're in "Classic View" the icon should read "Sounds and Audio Devices".  If you are in "Category View" it will read "Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices".  Check to make sure the main Volume Control is turned up, as well as the "Wave" input (this is found under "Advanced") as most of the sounds on a system fall under this category, including MP3's.\n\nIf none of this works, or if you can't get into these settings, than your audio drivers are probably incorrectly installed, or have become corrupted somehow.  You were on the right track for doing a system restore, but if it didn't help you might try going to Microsoft's website for Windows Updates and try and get a new driver installed.\n\nOne more thing, if this is only an issue with your CD-ROM drive, check inside the computer for a cable that runs from the back of the CD-ROM drive down to your sound card.  It's a small cable, that provides the audio signal from a CD to your sound card.  \n\nHope this helps!!

Re install sound driver.

Check if your speakers are plugged in properly. If that is the case, your sound card might not be working. Sometimes, I have to re-install my driver for it.

First thing to check is that you didn't hit the mute button on your keyboard (if it has one)\n\nSecond thing, click on the little speaker icon on your system tray, and see if the "mute" button is clicked in any of the options.\n\nThird, check all connections with the speakers, if all seems well, try plugging the speakers in to something else to see if they're functional.  Also try plugging in some earphones to check the speaker plug.\n\nTry reinstalling the drivers, as well.

If its the power adapter, why not replace it.  theres universal ones out there at most popular stores, and if you search the internet and hit the auction sites you should be able to find it relatively inexpensively.\n\nAs far as fixing the power adapter, Id try either doing a google search for fixing circuits, OR go down to the local bookstore and/or library and pick up a book that way.\n\nI dont know if Id be so bold as to try experimenting with the power adapter if I wasnt knowledgeable since a power fluctuation could do some serious damage throughout the laptop.\nThats up to you though

set up a better ground of some sort or make sure your speakers are plugged in all the way

If the sound card doesn't have it's drivers correctly installed, you won't see the volume control in the task bar. Is your sound card functioning at all? Also depending on your laptop it might have some kind of third party volume control program installed.

right click on my computer.Go to Hardware > Device Manager .\nGo to speakers remove the drivers and then refresh the system by right clicking on any icon and selecting refresh. the audio drivers would then be reinstalled. This might solve your problem\n\nGood Luck

make sure speakers are turned on and connected to sound card, check volume control on speaker/computer, check for problems in device manager

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.

It may be the problem of your sound card or may be the wire of the speakers nothing else.

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

Go to "control panel" & click on add new hardware..\nWindows should detect the loss of the sound drivers & it'll be up again after a restart..\nIf theres still a problem, you should look for any CD'S or Floppy's that came with the computer which might have the audio driver files..\nCheers!
