OK make sure the sound card is enabled in the BIOS then make sure if you have connected any front auto panel cables make sure they are correct or make sure in Windows setup that "Sounds" are installed," update the sound card drivers, make sure it is not on mute, try different speakers/headphones etc.

Check the speaker volume in Control Panel, Sounds.\n\nOr reinstall the sound software.

Your sound card could be shot. Click on Start, then go to My Computer, and RIGHT click, choose Properties. A box will appear, choose the Hardware Tab, then Device Manager. This will show all the hardware in your computer. If there is a problem with the sound card, the icon will have a exclamation point (!) in a yellow triangle. If your sound device does or doesn't right click on it, and choose Update Drivers, hopefully it will find one if it's a driver problem. Say your having no luck, download this free program called Advanced Windows Care, hopefully that will fix it if it's a software thing. Lastly unplug your speakers and plug a headset in where the speakers are to see if can hear anything, to make sure the speakers aren't toast. Best of luck

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.

you might try resetting it through the yahoo messenger audio wizard. Thats the easiest way to know if your sound card is working properly without doing a bunch of tech stuff.

Go to start Control Panel, Sound and Audio devices. There you can check/set up your audio. If you have a sound card, go to START and select what ever your sound card is and check its settings.\n\n\n Computer Help Page\n\nhttp://www.diskgenius.com/\n\nhttp://www.pcbeginner.com/tools/pcdoctor.htm\n\nhttp://www.pcguide.com/byop/index.htm\n\nhttp://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/\n\nhttp://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/ntfs-boot-iso.html\n\nhttp://www.disk-image.net/products.htm\n\nhttp://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm\n\nhttp://www.errornuker.com/info/01.php?hop=product1\n\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder\n\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads2.html\n\nhttp://www.ntcompatible.com/Acronis_True_Image_9.0_Build_2337_s61449.html\n\nhttp://www.theosfiles.com/\n\nhttp://www.data-recovery-reviews.com/windows-startup-disasterrecovery.htm?gclid=CMSl0b7X2YcCFSJxYAodKy6Lpw\n\nhttp://www.winternals.com/\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,25181-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/Windows-XP-PowerPacker.shtml\n\nhttp://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,674406,00.asp\n\nhttp://windows.about.com/od/tipsarchive/l/bltip632.htm\nVisit our Helpdesk for PC Bug Doctor\nhttp://www.maximumsoftwaresupport.com\nPC Beginner  software\nhttp://www.pchell.com/support/limitedconnectivity.shtml\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/\nhttp://www.bootdisk.com/utility.htm\nChapter 1: Purchasing Components \nChapter 2: Component Overview \nChapter 3: Installing the CPU, Heatsink, and RAM On The Mainboard \nChapter 4: Installing The Mainboard In The Case \nChapter 5: Installing Drives \nChapter 6: Connecting Components \nChapter 7: Installing AGP and PCI Cards \nChapter 8: Testing the System and Completing Assembly \nChapter 9: Installing Windows XP \nChapter 10: Configuring Windows XP \nChapter 11: Installing A Dual Boot Operating System (Linux And Windows XP) \nChapter 12: Home Video -- “So, You Want to Be the Next Steven Spielberg?” \nChapter 13: What’s Next? \n\nhttp://www.hardwareanalysis.com\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/download4007.html\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/\nhttp://www.free-pc-checkup.com/\nhttp://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/?ref=Googlebspeed\nhttp://pcperformancetools.com/recovermyfiles.htm\n\nBUILD YOU OWN COMPUTER:\n   www.directron.com\n   www.newegg.com\n   www.monarchcomputers.com

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

Do you mean you have reformatted your drive, and reinstalled windows and now theres no sound?  Have you checked the Device manager to see if theres any errors in the sound/multimedia section?

Put in the soundcard. Install drivers. If not included look up the drivers for the model number online. Check in device manager and control panel/sounds and audio to make sure it works.

This is an odd problem but not surprising given the fickle nature of computers and their respective accessories. Here are a few suggestions for ya anyway sweetie...\n\n1. Try running a disk check by right clicking My Computer, Properties, going into the Tools tab and clicking on Check Now.\n\n2. Shut down your computer, wait a few minutes and see if the problem is still there.\n\n3. Go to your device manager and see if any audio device is listed. If not, you will probably need to download some drivers or a new sound manager.

Check that your sound is not muted. \n\nIf you uninstalled XP, try downloding the sound drivers for your sound card from http://www.driverguide.com. If you don't know the name of your sound card, download AIDA32 (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html OR\n www.webattack.com/get/aida32.shtml OR\n http://www.google.com/searchq=AIDA32&btnG=Search\n) and let it discover it for you. Hope this helps.

I read it all and I just suggest getting a new sound card, and using it until it quits working if the computer does what you want it to.

If the problem happens intermitmently like you described, we can rule out the settings (Here I suppose you know how to check the audio settings of your machine).  If so, it must be the hardware.  Since audio cards are cheap (You can get one for $20 and the sounds are pretty decent), install a new sound card.

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!

Things to check\n\n1. Is the power on?\n2. Is the green wire connected to the green plug in? Or however it's color coded.\n3. Are the speakers connected to each other?\n4. Is the volume turned up on the speakers?\n5. Have you muted your speakers volume on the computer?\n6. Do they work on another computer?\n\nIf the answer to the above is Yes on all counts, then the problem resides on the machine.\nFirst to try is to re-install your sound card drivers.\nIf that fails, the problem is your sound card. If when you replace the sound card the problem still occurs it's your motherboard.

Maybe your sound is mute in control panel/sound and audio properties/audio/volume.Go there and uncheck it.\nMaybe your speakers or sound card do not work,just buy and change what doesn/t work,it's not hard to change a sound card.If you do not have a sound card in your computer and the problem is in motherboard,you can still buy a sound card and insert it into your computer.Make sure to set it as default device in control panel/audio devices properties.
