How can you regain "speaker working" ..(w/ "Party Poker" logged in' not playing) can't get youtube audio?
WINXP and I *know* that closing Party POker would make the speakers work ... but for the sake of peace under one roof, that's not an option. This is a tough computer knowledge question, but maybe it would be cheapest just to get another computer ... it would be *easiest* ,,,, but if anyone knows how to do it, I'd be very grateful
If it makes any difference, it's a Pentium III (?) about 5 years old
Wyatt, thank you for the ideas ... it's quite a list

Try each step below to fix your problem...
Make sure the speakers are plugged into the green jack. Also make sure it securely plug in and powered (If amplified).
To Display The Volume Icon
By default, the Volume icon is not displayed when you initially installed on your system.
To enable the display of the Volume icon, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Sounds and Audio Devices.
3. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.
4. Click OK.
When you have the new desktop features enabled, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Sounds, click Speech, and then click Audio Devices.
3. Click Sounds, and then click Audio Devices.
4. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.
5. Click OK.
If that doesn't work then try this.
Go to "Start".."Control Panel"..."Internet Options"...Click the "Advanced Tab"...scroll down to multimedia and put a check mark in play sounds on websites.
Then go to "Tools"..."Manage Add ons"...and make sure everything is enabled.
Then close Internet Explorer and reopen
or
Go to Start -> Run -> and enter Services.msc
Scroll down to "Windows Audio".
Double click and change the startup type to Automatic
or
Go to the manufacturer of your computer website and download the necessary free audio driver.
