speakers not working

[mophead740]

It seems that the speakers on my second pc are not working
just yesterday they were working and now they definatly are not
the speakers are on
they ar plugged in
a report shows that my onboard sound has no problems
the volume is turned up
wat could be happening?

unmute?

Have you tried other speakers or a different sound card? Maybe it doesnt have the right drivers installed.

its bin working for ages and its not on mute
so the rifght drivers r installed
and the speakers emit this kinda fuzzy noise
but its very soft

as talldude said, try testing with a different pair of speakers of some headphones.

I agree with Greg and talldude. Even with a little white noise coming though, a hardware failure is likely; busted speaker cable, for bets. Drat those tiny little hair-thin multi-strand cables; they fracture like 50 year old telephone wires!
Sound in headphones, but not from known good speakers?
Maybe bad speaker jack.
no sound (except the white noise) from either?
Maybe corrupted driver file

The whole business could be as simple as Crysalis suggested;
an unregarded, minor, well-buried settings option that got checked for "do not make sound".

And yes, this is my first post on this board. Hi.
