Go to Creative web site, download the drives for the sound card. Then go in device manager click on the icon and update the driver..

As most of the replies went straight to drivers, I assume you checked to make sure that the correct speakers were selected? I know when I have a headset in and turn my bluetooth mouse on, that it resets my sound device to bluetooth audio, which I have to put back to my usb headset. It's a simple answer, but hard to find.
A friend just had to have her Dell Laptop speakers replaced... she said all is well now!
Yeah, I see your point but I kinda feel it was pretty much all down to me. After very time of going to this guy's house and being irritated by spyware and error messages, I told him I could help by reinstalling the OS.You offered to help - and it's not your fault the reinstall broke it. Like it wouldn't have done it to someone else with the same disks?
The Dell disks...I can reinstall, but would that be better with the Dell disks or a Windows disk not from Dell.Did you use Dell OEM disks or store bought? I'm so not an XP guru, but i'd do a reinstall again at this point. But I wouldn't pay a ton to fix it either, especially if you used HIS disks. Now, if you used something you had laying around - could be more on you.
Same hereLOL, problems like this are why i DON"T use XP anymore! I don't miss it, don't miss the former day job doing this kinda stuff all day either... love my Macs!
Sounds like a faulty soundcard? or motherboard?
OK well boot into windows and then play music or something. Then go plugging the sound device(speakers or headphones) into each of the audio out jacks so that includes any rear speaker ports center etc. Sometimes its just set up wrong. If that works then its not drivers just settings.
Well, the headphones and speakers were working in the exact same places before the reinstall, and the headphones are in the specifically labelled headphone jack...
