Go into your control panel and adjust your speaker settings on your computer. Also check to see if your wires are going through the right audio ports.

Use media player 11. It will definitely resolve your little problem. Furthermore, you might not have enabled side speakers on. There are front speakers, rear and side. That'll do fine.

its simple. if u encounter that problem. #1: try reinstalling ur audio driver. if not #2: reformat ur drive then install a fresh copy of ur Operating System (windows). if not #3: replace ur sound card or ur motherboard if its a built-in type. ;)

your sound cards drivers are old. speakers are old.. one of these two. update your sound drivers most likely.

Lot of possibilities:\n\n- Speakers not connected coreectly.\n- Speakers not connected to power and/or not turned on.\n- Computers volume turned off or turned down to the minimum.\n- Windows driver for your hardware not loaded.\n- Sound card not working.

check if the cables are plugged properly. if you still get no sound, and if you are knowledgeable enough, reseat the sound card on the tower. u can also try other speakers. dont forget to turn on the power and volume of course ! :P

I would recommend moving the sound card to a different PCI slot, move it at least 1 away from another PCI component that is installed. Another thing is that it could be the driver, loading the new card is one thing but have you gone to the creative website to download the latest drivers. One thing I like to do is I like to max out all my sound on the PC then I use the speaker volume to control the volume of the system.

If it is enable then check the drivers which supports to run the soundcard. and if all right then check ur sound card (hardware). if problem exist then deinstall all the drivers and reinstall it properly. and still problem exist buy the new sound card

There could be a problem with the wiring since you say it corrected itself before.  It maybe time to get another set of speakers.

Presumably your sound used to work - but no longer work.\n\nI have had this problem quite a few time too. Try reselecting the speaker setup in Control Panel_Sound and Audio Devices Properties. Mine is 5.1 speakers, cause I have a 5.1 speakers setup for Surround Sound.\n\nAlso check in Audio & Voice that your Speaker card is selected (not your onboard audio if you are not using that). Mine is SB Live! E400. \n\nThen test Windows audio under Sounds. If it sounds - its fixed!\n\nYou may also want to disable your onboard audio driver found in Device Manager in System to avoid a driver clash/conflict.

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

make sure they are connected, try the volume, restart your computer, if worse comes to worse you are going to have to uninstall and reinstall them

Okay..\nletz start from "A".\n\nCheck if you have connected the speakers properly. \n\nIf you have connected the speakers properly, ensure that you have switched on the speakers. \n\nIf all these have been done, check if you have reduced the speaker volume to 'Zero'. \n\nIf this is also in tact, letz come back to your comp:.ensure that you have not disabled the sound in your comp. If you are using an onboard card, and you are running on windows, a speaker icon will be displayed in the system tray to the left of the clock. Ensure that there is no red cross mark on the icon. Anyways, double click on the icon and here opens a new settings box. verify the settings and uncheck all the "MUTE" tick boxes and drag the equalizers to the top. Play the music and check if you are getting enough. If it is still there in the pole, take out your audio driver CD and go ahead with a fresh installation. You can confirm the functionality of your sound card by Right clicking on the My Computer icon, goin down to the properties and device manager. Check if there is an yellow astrick on the sound card. If yes, no issues... try a fresh installation.. your comp is gonna sing...\n\nn IF THIS DOENT WORK, CONTACT YOUR VENDOR AND ORDER A FRESH SOUND CARD..\n\nI RECOMMENT CREATIVE PLATINUM AUDIGY....\nA...W...E..S..O..M..E...man...itz gonna be a feast for your ears..\n\ngud luck..

This has happened to me a dozen times, and it embarrasses me every time.  This may not work, but read carefully.\n\nMany computers now adays have two different ports for your speakers (one for a sound card that is mounted on the mother board and one that is mounted to an actual sound card).  I know you said you plugged them into the right hole, but don't be so sure.  Just because colors match doesn't necessarily mean it is right.  Check the back of the computer for another hole that is about the same size and try it (there may be more than one).
