1. Check if the SPEAKER works fine. Be sure sure and sure.
2. Play a music with a program that SHOWS an equalizer band. An equalizer
band moves bunch of bars when the music is played. Widows Media Player with
any visualization EXCEPT Album Art is fine.

Check audio driver.Download and install the latest audio driver from the
manufacturer's site.Check the cable,whether it is inserted in the right
location or not.

The sound drivers probably got deleted or corrupted. Download them
again and install. Do you have a sound card or are you plugging it off
the motherboard? If it is onboard, it should be on a CD that came with
your computer which includes all the drivers for your motherboard. If
it is an sound card, I believe it came with the card when you purchased
it. If not, you can go to the manufacturer site and download the driver
from there.
