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 have lost your driver for your sound card. What you need to do is reinstall it. If you know the make and model of your soundcard you can download the driver from the website of the manufacturer, or if you have a name brand computer you can go to that site and get the driver, or you can open your case and see what kind of soundcard you have, if it is built on the mother board that company will have your driver

Reinstall the drivers.\n\nYou can look in the 'control panel / system / hardware / device manager', and make sure that your sound card is showing up under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.  If it's not then you have a hardware problem.

go to control panel...click on sounds...check to see if the speakers are enabled and not muted..also check device manager to see if the sound card is using the right drivers....

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.

Check if your speaker is connected correctly on your computer. Check if it is not muted. If it still does not work, reinstall your sound card. If it doesnt, maybe there is a problem either on your sound card or on your speaker. To isolate it, try connecting your speaker with other PC, if there are sounds produce then we can conclude that most likely your sound card is defective.\n\nRegards

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

you need to downlad and install the drivers for the sound card. Right click on the My Computer icon on the start menu or desktop, whereever it is, go to properties, and click. go to hardware, system devices. You sound card or it might say audio device will have a little yellow mark next to it. double click it and go to drivers, and update drivers. make sure you are online, and it should find the drivers for it

When it comes to speakers, check all the simple things first.  Make sure the speakers are turned on, and if they have power, make sure it's connected.  Also make sure the speaker output plug is plugged in all the way into the sound card (the 1/8 in plug on the back of the computer).  Sometimes, if a system gets moved, or a cord gets caught on something, it will pull the plug out JUST slightly, enough that you don't notice right away, but enough to where the grounding ring on the plug isn't lined up correctly.  \n\nAfter checking all that, next check the volume settings in windows.  Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.  If this is Windows XP, and you're in "Classic View" the icon should read "Sounds and Audio Devices".  If you are in "Category View" it will read "Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices".  Check to make sure the main Volume Control is turned up, as well as the "Wave" input (this is found under "Advanced") as most of the sounds on a system fall under this category, including MP3's.\n\nIf none of this works, or if you can't get into these settings, than your audio drivers are probably incorrectly installed, or have become corrupted somehow.  You were on the right track for doing a system restore, but if it didn't help you might try going to Microsoft's website for Windows Updates and try and get a new driver installed.\n\nOne more thing, if this is only an issue with your CD-ROM drive, check inside the computer for a cable that runs from the back of the CD-ROM drive down to your sound card.  It's a small cable, that provides the audio signal from a CD to your sound card.  \n\nHope this helps!!

There is not enough information in your post to make an accurate determiniation of the problem.  Has it ever worked?  Did it suddenly stop working?  What were you doing when it stopped working?  Does plugging headphones in to soundcard work?  \n\nThere are numerous possibilities:  \nThe Soundcard might be busted.\nThe Speakers might be busted.\nYou might need to upgrade your drivers for the soundcard.\nYour Volume Mixer settings might need adjusting.  \n\nCheck your sound mixer volume \n\nControl Panel -> Sound and Audio Devices then click the advanced button.  Make sure nothing is checked mute and that nothing is set to 0 volume.  \n\nI wish I could be of more help, but I lack the magical ability to diagnose the problem with the details provided

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. ;)

Go to Run and type in 'dxdiag' and select the Sound tab and select Test DirectSound.  If you get no sound, go to Device Manager and uninstall the sound driver, then re-boot.  If that doesn't work, either the speakers are dead or your sound card is dead.  By the way, is the power light for your speakers on?

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.
