I went to the site that I believe Blufindr put the link to, and downloaded the correct audio drivers and installed them.  I still however am getting no sound from my speakers.  I have checked the connections, the power is on, the volume is turned up, and it is properly connected to the computer.  I still however don't know why I'm not able to get sound.

maybe your speakers fuses burned out?

They worked 4 hours ago when I had my old version of windows, I HIGHLY doubt between this time and now they burned out.

What speakers do you have?

I can tell you were on the right track about the drivers though, those are the same drivers I had before, I just didn't know what they were called.

Then I don't know what's wrong with your computer.

Ask a computer tech person?

Yes, they are properly configured.

ok.. did you check to make sure they aren't muted in volume controls?

Do you have a specialty audio card installed? If so is it running correctly?

Just look around through all the audio controls and make sure everything is turned up/ set correctly

thats really all I can do for you from here, sorry

The floggings will continue until morale improves.
I brake for scholars, priests, and no apparent reason

First go into a program that would use sound and show you a 'mixer' or 'volume' bar.  I think that the Sound Mixer in Windows, Tuning Wizard in WLM or whatever will work.  Run a sample sound and see if the bars are moving.  If they are, good.

Otherwise, go into Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and see if your sound card is listed there as working.  Make sure you don't see a ( ! )..  Okay, that's there, good.

Now I know some sound cards have gotten weird and have settings.  You'll probably find this in Program Files or in your Start Menu.  Go open this up.. make sure the audio is not muted.  Sometimes this happens.  Also make sure that the input/outputs are setup to the right audio jacks.  Sometimes they have one in the front and one in the back.

Okay, so what if this doesn't work.  Take your speakers, plug them into your ipod.  Does this work?  No?  Your speakers are dead.

Yes?  PM me.
