I have been searching the internet for while for an answer and haven't found anything.
A week ago the sound was working fine. All of a sudden it stopped working. When the comp starts up the start up sound skips. I can't play cds or mp3, even internet audio files don't play.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the speakers but I don't think the problem is with the speakers...
Can someone please help!

What is the make and model of the computer?

Try the Audio drivers direct from the manufacturer's web site.

If the computer was custom built then check the motherboard's manufacturer's web site.

If you need help in this search please post back the ID's.

it is a custom computer.
I don't know the make of the mother board. I have been trying to find the website of the makers of the speakers but there is nothing, it's ID is 01021459.
The computer is an intel pentium 4 CPU 1.60ghz, 256mb of ram
