speakers suddenly stop working after reinstall

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Hi, not sure what the problem might be, obviously... I cleared my harddrive
and reinstalled windows XP. I updated all my drivers, or at least I think I
did, but my speakers suddenly no longer work. I didn't change any of the
hardware connections on the computer. When I plug a headset in to the
computer, it works fine. When I turn the speakers on and turn them all the
way up, I hear a little fuzz that just lets me know if noise comes out of the
speakers, its going to be really loud. Any suggestions for me before I try
buying new speakers and subwoofer?

Reinstall the software for your audio.

Check your speakers on another machine. The problem is probably a bad
connection within the speakers (cables).
