THe follwing is for XP. Go to the Control Panel, Sounds and Audio
Devices. In the Volume
tab, ensure that the Mute box isn't checked, and the device volume is up
some. Go to the
Audio tab, and see which souncard is the default device for playback.
That's the card to
which programs like Winamp, IE, etc. (any program that can't internally
choose its
soundcard) will sent audio. If the soundcard you're using has a mixer
panel (most internal
soundcards do), invoke it by clicking the "Volume" button on the Audio
tab, or by
double-clicking the little speaker in the tray. Make sure that the Wave
fader is up and not
muted, as well as the Master Volume. Also, for apps that send MIDI,
rather than wav or mp3
sound data, make sure that the SW Synth is also up and not muted.
Make sure your speakers, if external, are on, volume up, and plugged into
the green (line
out) jack. Try plugging headphones into the green jack to see if there's
audio there. If
so, your speakers were not working.
