Speakers that suddenly don't work!

[Arnie]

Just as Jake and others in this newsgroup have suddenly
experienced speakers that don't work I also have this
problem. No sound such as the windows system
tones,music, or telephone dial tone is available. Can't
think of having done anything different while using this
XP OS. Do get an initial static like sound when booting
up, but that is all. Yes I've checked the mute etc. Ran
a test with the systems PC doctor which resulted in only
one message. "WAV Test Failure 2511-201".Help!
