How do you get your computer speakers to work?

I had a similar problem and i discovered where all the little icons on the blue bar at the bottom i have volume icon and one for my soundcard.Double click the one for the sound card and see if it has a sound test feature. But check your volume icon to see what level the sound is set at.Hope this was of some use to you. any drivers you need should be available from the maker of the sound card i would hope.

just a little question... when trying to listen to music on Windows Media Player, does the writing go red/orange. if yes, do the following:

step 1) go to start, and click on Control Panel,

step 2) click on Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices

step 3) click on Sound and Audio devices

step 4) on the dialog box (pop up box) click on Audio and make sure that the right options are selected, if that don't help fiddle around with the options.

and make sure that the speakers are plugged in...

double click on the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen and

check to see if everything is set on on the main volume control

hope this helps

well in order to help you need more details, like when you say it wont let you turn it up, does a window pop up? or it just wont play anything?

CMOS Setup correctly setup?

check your volume contol, it might be on mute !
