This likely doesn't refer to the speakers, but to the sound card or chip.
And it means that the drivers aren't installed, or are corrupt.

Reinstall the drivers for your sound card. If you've just reinstalled
Windows clean, a common cause of this is not installing the chipset drivers
for the motherboard. These are on a separate CD.

Unfortunately, without any information as to the system itself or what
happened, it's difficult to offer more.

Mr.Keenan...everything else about the computer works fine...is it possible
for the sound drivers to be deleted without going into windows...or is this
something that can be deleted by just going into the add remove programs...i
do apologize for being so computer illiterate....i am currently running
windows XP SP2..as far as reloading the driviers do u have to have a CD to do
it or can it be done from an on line source...I do thank you sir for your
time aqnd help with this matter and it may be something i need to have looked
into by a tech...THANK YOU AGAIN

You can install the audio drivers from either the provided CD or from files
downloaded from the manufacturers support site.
Check the PC manufacturers support site first for the appropriate drivers for your
specific PC Make/Model. Download the latest updated drivers for you device, also
download or print any Readme/Install file if it is available as a separate file, it
may be included in the downloadable driver file instead of separately.
Install the drivers per the manufacturers instructions.



If you need any further assistance, please provide as much information as possible
for your PC and Devices. If you would like to find the information in a simple
manner, download and run:

Everest Home Edition: (Last one offered free)
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads9.html

http://basconotw.mvps.org/dwnlds.htm

Create a new folder named Everest and extract the contents of the download to

that folder.

Open the folder and double-click everest.exe to run the application.
