how do i get my speakers to work?

ok, I know they're plugged in correctly, the light is on. Also i checked the device manager and there isnt any red or yellow exclamation points. ive checked the control panel and its not on mute nothing is on mute. ive been googling it for like an hour and i hear alot about drivers and sound cards and stuff. PLEASE HELP

Give some specifics please...

Are you using a Desktop comp or a laptop? If your computer is newer, you most likely have a "digital out connection" and the default setting for your sound card driver configuration is to ONLY enable the digital out signal... this would mean that if you plug a standard set of analog speakers into your comnputer, the sound would not come out. you would have to use a digital sound processor (aka a home theater system) with a coaxial in jack...

my guess is, you just want to use an ordinary set of (amplified) speakers with your computer, right?

well, I can't tell you exactly how you can enable the analog signal since I don't know the brand of your soundcard or the operating system you are using.

I would be glad to help if you could get me that information. feel free to email me and I will reply asap
