Speakers stopped working

[Kathleen]

The speakers on my system have stopped working. I've
tried powering off, back on, disconnecting, re-
connecting, ect. all to no avail. System is an IBM
NetVista with Infinity speakers; approx 18 months old.
speakers were working fine until about 1 week ago.

SoundMAX integrated Digital Audio is what shows up when I
look in the control panel under Sounds and Audio Devices
Properties.

Please help if possible. Teenagers are getting
restless...

Power switch for speakers? Speakers unplugged from wall outlet?

Test if your speakers really do still work. Plug them into a portable
CD player or portable radio to see if the speakers work with that other
audio source. Then test your audio output on your computer. Plug in a
set of headphones (known to work with your CD player or portable radio)
to see if you hear anything coming out your computer's line-out jack.

I know that the speakers I have require one to be plugged
into the outlet but the other has batteries in it. Could
the batteries be dead?
Good luck!
