I suddenly can't hear any sound out of my computer speakers...

[Korki Buchek]

A few days ago it just randomly died... I have no more sound coming out of my computer speakers. It shows everything as working correctly, but I hear nothing... my speakers have 2 wires, the green round wire that goes in the green jack in the back and branching off of that wire is a USB wire. I tried plugging the USB wire into several of the different USB ports in the back and it doesn't work on any of them. However when I plug in my headset I can still hear music on them... so I don't think my sound card is dead... ***?

OK, Try reinstalling drivers, and were your speakers loud before you used them?

I'm not sure about reinstalling... I went to the device manager and under the sounds section it was listed as: SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC... I don't think I could roll the drivers back to the previous ones because there were not previous drivers installed... should I disable or uninstall them? And I'm not even sure where to get the current drivers that I'm using anyway...

Google you the cards name and at the end put 'drivers' and yes reinstall the drivers

If you get sound when using a headset it must be something wrong with the speakers.
Check all the cables again. Do you hear a "humming" sound from the speakers? What is the USB plug for? If it's for sound you shouldn't be using that and the other plugs at the same time.
