My speakers

Hi Ive just bought New Labtec speakers After old ones had eventually broke.
Ive connected fine but they wont play, when I look Into sounds and devices on
the device manager its says no audio device connected Please Help!

Well you will need to have a working sound card and drivers if you want
anything to come out of the speakers. So it appears that it wasn't the
speakers that failed, but the sound card. So back to the store.

Right Click on My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device manager. You will
find your sound card there. See if it has a question mark or exclamation
point next to it.

All the drivers within Sounds,video and game controllers all seem to be
working, there is a question mark next to the icon for multimedia audio
controller, could this be the problem and how do i fix it?

The multimedia audio controller IS you sound card. You need to install the
correct Windows XP drivers for it. If the audio card is part of the
motherboard, look at the motherboard manual(s), CD or manufacturer's web site.
If you added the audio card as a separate device, locate the install CD.

Turn off your computer. Unplug it. Open the side. Remove the sound card.
Plug it back in. Reboot. Turn your computer off. Unplug it. Put the
sound card back in. Plug it back in. Reboot and have your sound card CD
handy and follow the New Hardware prompts.

You need to either use the set up disk or download the drivers from the
sound card manufacturer's web site and point the hardware wizard to
wherever you saved the download.
