If I understood what you were saying, you get nothing out of the
speakers on this computer, right? Um, I know this is simplistic, but
are you sure everything is working and connected? Have you checked the
speakers themselves, the cable(s), power supply, etc.?

Yep. I'm also getting nothing out of the headphone jack, and that's hard
wired.

That is almost certainly because the card has been reconfigured. It
is comparatively rare for sound cards to simply cease operations,
although it does happen. Some games also reconfigure the jack sockets
for input and output.
On ore two friends of mine have had these problems after their kids
have installed various games etc.

I don´t know what sound card you have, but this may be of assistance
to you anyway. It is the software for an on board chip set which is
used with many computers, but it will work to reconfigure some cards
as well;

You can also find more info there.

If you can´t fix it, want to try another card, and if you want a good
audio experience form your PC, then this is worth looking at;

as they state, if you don´t need all the extra features,( god for
musicians, people who want to archive vinyl etc) then the Audigy 4.0
pro is a very good card.

This software may also be of assistance to you, ( 30 day trial, which
is usually enough for somebody just seeking a single fault) ;

This too may of help in diagnosing the problem(s);

I have installed these on several systems lately;

they really are first class, reasonably priced, and one of the best
"small system"! solutions I have heard.

Don´t know whether you have this either;

but it´s worth getting it. Especially as it is free!
