You'll have to install a sound card that supports digital speakers.  As far as I know, the Soundblaster live does not support digital speakers.  You will want at least an Audigy 2 ($42) for digital speakers, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?DEPA=0&type=&description=audigy&Submit=ENE&Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 but the best sound card is the X-Fi ($113), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102188\n\nAnd just so you know that Realtek is an integrated solution which is built into your motherboard.

You probably need to purchase a new sound card. Same thing happened with my PC, had a power outage and had to replace sound card because it got fried somehow. Usually a decent sound card for just playing music and sound, nothing fancy like bass, DJing, is $30-50.

Assuming you are simply looking for sound, not looking for the latest, greatest theatre sound etc, just go get a card...to fit your budget. (in my case....as cheap as pssible!) \nsecond assumption, you actually have a sound card as against 'on-board' sound. If you cant find a card with the little coloured sockets on it, you have on-board sound, instead of 'removing the card' remove a blanking plate to enable you to fit a card.\nTo fit the card, remove the side (as you have) leave the PC plugged in but swirched off at the mains\nLooking at your mass inside the PC, the sound card is the one with little pink...blue...green...black... jack sockets on it, there may be others as well.\nRules of combat, one hand for you, one hand on the metal of the PC case, this will prevent 'static damage'\nOn the card, inside the PC, you will see a metal bracket with one cross head screw, loosen this screw and remove it...dont loose it, mind.\nGently, ease the card out. Now, refit the new card where the old one came from, secure with the screw. make sure the card is well seated in the socket.\nHave a cuppa, you did well.\nNow, restart the PC, install the software, follow the prompts...\nIf you originally had 'on-board sound' you will need to disable this in BIOS. Look to the motherboard manufacturers website for your motherboard manual if you have not got one.

you will have to find out what sound card it is and download the program for it.

find the software for your sound card and reinstall the drivers/software... if you don't have a disc, then go to the manufacturer's website and download them from there...

The sounds are not free but you can easily record the sound through your sound card as it playsback.\n\nhttp://www.audiosparx.com/sa/display/sounds.cfm/sound_group_iid.648

If your sound card only accepts mono you will need to upgrade the card. Try this program first. It will automatically detect your sound cards capabilities and configure itself for maximum performance:\nhttp://www.soundrecorder.net/

first can you find out if the sound card is listed in devices in the control panel\nif it is it say that it has any problem's\nif it has no problems with it do you have software installed to say run music and sound facilities\n\nTry some of these and then pose us back a question with some more detail and I will try to help further

Internal sound cards.  Now, if you have a laptop there are some special options avialable for you.  The Creative Audigy 2ZS for laptops comes in a PCMCIA flavor.  If you have a desktop the best choices are the Creative Audigy 2, 4 or X-Fi Extreme Music with the X-Fi being the best possible card you can get your hands on today.\n\nAn external sound card, to my knowledge does not have a dedicated audio processor so it is relying on your CPU to do most of the work but it does manage to output better sound than the built-in card will.  So you have my reccomendation for the laptop and do not look elsewhere for a desktop card besides Creative.

Try going to the site where the sound card is from and downloading all applicable drivers for the speakers.  You will probably have to unplug the speakers, download the drivers, then restart the computer and plug the speakers back in.  Maybe your sound card took a crap on you and you need a new one.  Or... a virus is eating through your computer and it started there.  You should probably just take it to a computer tech and let them work out the kinks.  Or go to walmart and buy a new computer for $500.00

you dont need any particular hardware for that purpose, your sound card should be fine. \nThen you require stream recorders which you can try downloading from http://www.download.com\n==x==
