Check to see if your drivers are updated by going to start > control panel > system> hardware> Device manager and check to see if your sound card is installed

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 should be able to look up sound driver in a search engine and download a new driver if that dosent work then you might have to go and get a new sound card

Probably your sound card is defective or you hav'nt install the sound drivers properly

I am assuming that you installed XP over an earlier version as I am reading into your question that you had sound before XP so that also rules out having the speakers incorrectly hooked up.  Go to start-control panel-system (the icon that looks like a computer) and run the hardware wizard.  If the hardware is listed but has a question mark you may just have to reload the software.  I would first check for updated software as you may be using an incompatible driver for your sound card.

Try going to Device Manager and uninstalling your sound card drivers, then re-boot and let Windows re-install the drivers.

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...

You can go to your control panel and click on your "Sound and audio devices" icon doing so will get you the "Sound and audio devices Properties" in this window go to the Audio tab in the top and see if any thing is listed under the default device if there is nothing listed try clicking the drop down menu but if you see the menu has been disabled that mean your sound card driver have been corrupted. If your sound card is an internal sound card inbuilt on your mother board then try using your mother board CD and install the audio driver... I think this will work. \n\nBest Of luck

Makre sure the speakers are plugged into the back of the computer.    Double click on the little speaker Icon in the bottom right of your screen.  make sure there is nothing muted, and then try a different CD. . .

I am sorry for asking this, this way, but are your speakers plugged in, they can get so easily unplugged if the PC is moved, also check your speaker settings (is volume down, or muted)
