How do you tell if your sound card is crashed or your speakers are crashed?
Open your control panel (Start%26gt;Control panel%26gt;System%26gt;Hardware%26gt;device manager%26gt;sound, video and game controllers) and see if there any yellow !'s or red x's next to the name of your sound card. if there are your drivers are corrupt, missing or need to be updated.
Reply:I've tried everything seems all ok in the device manager there's no yellow/red x and have also tried connecting speakers to other device which also seems to be working fine, still can't figure out what the problem is before reinstalling XP had no problem at all.
