cant detect my speakers

[Su-Yin]

its 3 in the morning and im desperate for my speakers to work to keep me awake to study...
my speakers stopped working out of the blue...i didnt change any settings watsoever...checked the plugs...evyerhtings plugged in fine..sockets...power points...connections are good...i went on control panel...audio devices...but the name of the speakers arent waht i have plugged in...those were my old speakers...:(...i cant detect the current speakers there...i tried detecting hardware...but its not there either...
anyone got suggestions... ?

External speakers arent recognized as hardware. so the name of them wouldn't matter. you need to open up volume conrol and make sure nothing is muted and all the limiters are maxed out except for your master volume.

If you have another pair of speakers laying around, try them. If you hear sound on your computer with a different pair, then your speakers are shot.

If you have access to another comptuer, try the speakers in them. If they work on another computer and dont on yours, its some kind of setting that somehow got messed with.

And Sony, I want to give a really harsh comment to what you said just above me but I'm staying quiet

Why don't you spill the beans? I didn't want the thread to fall too off-topic considering she did have an initial question that needed answering...

I guess you being quiet is better than a blank red pip. But don't be afraid to face up to me, I can either learn from it or take it with a grain of salt. But not speaking up usually means that it's not that big of a deal... so oh well.

[Jonbo298]

o_O I didnt give you a blank red pip if you got one in this thread

[MuGen]

no i'm saying...as an example... rather have you be quiet then to take it out on the rep system... yea?

[Jonbo298]

Ah, ok. I get it now, sorry there.

Anywho, back to the topic :p while waiting for a reply

[Happydude]

actually her problem is now solved...a cable just got screwed up or something, everything is working fine now. :)

[Su-Yin]

thanks guys...for the help :)....and subtle criticism lol

Yeah, I was about to say, it shouldn't recognize her speakers. There's no way for the computer to see them through a standard audio jack.

It should recognize her soundcard, and if it's not then there's the issue.

But since you figured it all out, cool.
