I plugged my speakers in and have really low sound for cd and no windows
sound. (start up sounds etc. there is nothing) please help. I've checked the
volume controls in the control panel and they are all at %100

Hi Karen,

Sounds like you need to install a sound card driver from the manufacturer of
the system or of the sound card.

Have you had a look under the levels too?

If you go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Speakers ->
Properties -> Levels. There are some more volume controls there for
specific types of content.

There's also the application mixer. Which you can get to by clicking the
volume icon and going to Mixer, there will be a slider for Windows Sounds
too.
