Also, I should mention that there is nothing in device manager with a yellow ? or !. I had to install many drivers when I first got this computer because my brother reinstalled XP on it. I should also mention that most of the computer is custom built. The case is from Asus though, as well as the motherboard. My sound card is Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Surround Sound Digital, if that helps.
Headphone jack doesn't work?

If so turn it completely one way and see if the volume comes on.
To check the system itself do the following steps....
Check speaker connection to back of system
Check volume control in windows by doing the following:
Go to Start and The Run
Type in sndvol32.exe and press Enter
Make sure Master Volume is not muted and turned up
Check Cd Player volume is not muted and turned up

Start and the Control Panel
Then go to Sounds And Audio Devices
Click On the Audio Tab and in the Sound Playback make sure your Sound Card is the Default Device
If not please click on the Drop Down Menu and change it

What Sound Card is showing from post #4?
#8
Posted 27 July 2009 - 07:25 AM
SB = Sound Blaster.
It's also 5.1 Digital Surround Sound.

Hi, thanks for the reply, but what you told me to do does not work.
in response to this:
Check speaker connection to back of system
Check volume control in windows by doing the following:
Go to Start and The Run
Type in sndvol32.exe and press Enter
Make sure Master Volume is not muted and turned up
Check Cd Player volume is not muted and turned up
Are you saying you have no master volume control?

What I should have said was: What you told me to do did not fix my problem.
I have a master volume control.
Does that make things clearer?

This is not looking good at all.
Since Device Manager shows no issue with soundcard.
Control Panel shows the SB Live 5.1 is installed and working.
Volume Control is not muted and turned up.
Headphones I assume have a volume control and that is turned up?
You have tried both front and rear headphone connection with same issue.
You have verified that indeed the headphones do work?
By chance have you tried a known working set of speakers to check the sound?

If not it may very well be a hardwire connection problem.
If it was just the cdrom not playing then I would say that maybe the audio cable wasn't plugged in from the cdrom to the MOBO.

I should inform you that if I unplug my surround sound from the back, and plug my headphones into the green port, I get volume from my headphones, but the only thing that will control the volume on headphones then, is the volume control on the headphones.
I took a look inside of the computer, and on the CD Rom, on the same side of the headphone jack, directly ahead of it, there is a small six pin connector that I could connect something too, but I have no such cable available. I could take pictures to show you what I am talking about, if need be.

Since the headphones get volume then I have to believe the problem is the speakers.
Do the speakers have a seperate power button and if so is the power light on them showing it on?
Is the Master volume control on the surround sound turned up?
Go to Control Panel then to Sounds and Audio Devices
At the bottom of the window click on the Advanced button next to Speaker Settings
Make sure that in the Speaker Setup drop down menu you have selected 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers
Let me know what your findings are.
