Problem with drivers?

[David]

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

I cleared my harddrive and reinstalled windows XP. Upon reinstall my
speakers suddenly stopped working! I updated the drivers for it (I strongly
THINK I did at least) but they still don't work. They work on other
computers, so I know they're not broken. Weird thing is... when I plug
headphones into the same jack for the computer speakers, the headset works
perfectly. What have I done to make them forsake me? =/

If by 'cleared my hd' you mean formated you will have to reinstall all your
hw drivers. Use manu sites only NOT winupdate. Also reinstall your mobo
chipset drivers

Speakers normally connect to the 1/8 inch connection. This does not have
any drivers. You need to makre sure tah you have correctly configure the
sound card and the multi-media speaker setup.

Also check Control Panel, Audio Devices, Speaker settings {at bottom of
Speaker tab}. Click on the Advance button to verify speaker configuration
and on the Volume button to check speaker volume setting.

Are they powered speakers? Plug in the "brick". If the 'phones work in
the same jack, then its a problem with the speakers and how you plugged
them in.

I've seen powered speakers that if disconnected from power need to have
their volume turned up manually at the speaker. Is there a volume control
on the speaker itself? Have you used it?
