If it is a desktop you can remove the old one and add the new one. If the sound card is integrated to Mother board. You can go ahead and add a new sound card and make sure all mike and speaker is connected to new card.

laptop or Desktop?\n\nRead the manual, or check with the manufacturer.  Probably need a install a program to activate it.

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

You're going to slap me for suggesting it, but check the following first:\n\n1. Go to the control panel, check sound.  Is it muted?  Is anything muted?\n2. Double check that the speaker is in the correct port, and not going through another device (speaker/headset splitter, etc) first.\n3. Make sure the card is seated properly.\n\nOnce you've done these, go to the control panel, then system, then hardware, then device manager and make sure the computer knows the card is present and installed.  Make sure it thinks it's running.\n\nGood luck.

check device manager   go start> controll panel and find system.  open that and click hardware tab, then device manager.  look for sound devices.  is there a yellow exclamation point next to it?  Does it exist in the list at all?\n\nIf it has the exclamation point you will have to know the make and model fo your card.  go to the website of the manufacturer and download andinstall them.  (all drivers are free).  \n\nIf it is not seen you may have a dead card.  Try the hardware detection wizard (under control panel you want to use add remove hardware, follow the wizard)

You will probably need the driver CD that came with either the sound card - motherboard if integral, or CD pack if a store bought made up system.\n\nDelete it from CONTROL PANEL- SYSTEM - Hardware, then reboot and have the CD ready when it says 'Found New Hardware'\n\nIf you haven't got it, message me with make and model of sound card

If you have xp you should be able to plug and play.  Go to your control panel and click on sound and audio devices. Go to speaker settings advanced and make sure you have everything set up correctly.  If not set it up on the right devices and restart computer.  If this doesnt work you might want to make sure you have actual hardware on your computer like a sbwave sound device.  Youcan check this by going into sound devices and clicking on the hardware tab.

make sure the sound card has not been diabled\ncheck to see if the correct driver is installed\nis the volume turne up not only on the system tray but on the laptop itself.\n\nyou may have a button marked Fn this is a function button it is used to access other functions on the keys with more than one item. look for a key with a picture of a speaker on these can be found in one of two places the 1st on the F keys(F8/F9) or on the arrow keys.

that is the software that runs your speakers if you uninsalled software recenly it sounds as if some of you files for the mixer might have been mixed in there you would have to reinstall your software for your soundcard

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.
