cant detect my speakers
 

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.

ummm i believe she still needs our help

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.

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

Re: cant detect my speakers
 

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

Re: cant detect my speakers
 

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

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

Re: cant detect my speakers
 

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