MY SPEAKERS DONT WORK!

[benagain]

If your speakers don't work when plugged into anything else, then they're blown. If you plug a working pair of headphones into your speaker jack and you don't hear didly, then you'r soundcard/drivers are shot. Blown speakers would be the cheapest easiest fix.

so you HAVE tried to plug them into a normal cd player/radio? and did they work when you plugged them in to the cdplayer/radio (to the head phone jack) and you say 'when they got power' so i'm assuming they don't have an additional power-plug... does the green light come on when you plug it into the computer

also stupid question but go to control panel> sound and audio devices> first tab there, click advanced, there should be 5-6 diffrent little 'levers' are all of those all the way up? if not, try again and tell me how it works

yeah i forgot that test, grab a pair of headphones and plug them into your comp (where your speakers plug in) (if nothing i've said works) and tell me if you hear anything if you still hear nothing, your sound card is fried, and you need a new one..

oh, not yet. ill go try right now. sorry

[MastaChronic]

headphones dont work, but the speakers do in my stereo.
so most likely my sound card is blown, i guess.
goddamnit, all this just cause i wanted to hack some games.

yeah it's almost definately a sound card problem at this point... all i can say if you have tried drivers (if you don't have an actual install cd, try a couple of diffrent versions) otherwise, you're probably gonna have to get a new sound card... (not that much, mine was all of 30 dollars)

[MastaChronic]

hmm, well. thanks slipknot :thumbsup:
at least now ive got a pretty good idea of whats wrong and can hopefully fix it in the future.

[slipknotpsycho]

lol seems like everytime you turn to for me help, there's nothing i can actually do? grr that irritates me! sorry i can't offer more, on both accounts..

[MastaChronic]
