need help please

Ok, i have no sound coming from my speakers on my computer. I was listening to music and the sound just cut out. I tried to play different music and games but i have no sound. I have Klipsch pro media 5.1 surrounds with a little control module and it has a test button that emits a test sound through all the speakers and that works fine. the computer i have is a dell, same soundcard that came with it.i don't know what is wrong. if you need to know more just ask. Any help appreciated.

yea, i have windows XP.

1. make sure you didnt unplug something by accident
2. make sure you didnt murder your soundcard somehow...(not sure how you would do that
3. try restarting the computer in case its an error in your computer..
4. waittill morning when the comp. experts get on..because Im just rambling now...

thanks for all the help. all the wiring is connected corectly and i did shut off my computer and turn it back on but it did not work. I f i did reinstall windows it would be tomorow.Would i lose programs and what not by doing this?

Phsst... You dont have to reinstall windows. Did the speakers ever work in the past?

Just update your sound card drivers.

Make sure your settings are not set to mute. Some times other programs will mute the speakers with out your knowledge. If you reinstal windows, you make lose file registry associations and while the programs are still on the harddrive they my not load without reinstaling them.

ok i found the volume control down in the task bar by the time, and put the volume all the way up. problem fixed. it's weird because i never touched them, oh well. thanks everyone.
