No Sound, pls help

sebastianj

I have Advent speakers connected, windows XP software. The cable got pulled from the back of the pc and then there was no sound. Have checked the cable it is ok, volume control etc all seems to be ok, speakers seems to be ok. I am puzzled, any one any ideas please.

is the speaker lead plugged into the green coloured headphone socket on the back of the computer?

You can test the speakers by plugging them into an iPod or something similar.

It is plugged into the greeni socket, i actually tried plugging it into all the others as well.
speakers seem to work fine with one of the small media player.

If the speakers are ok, and all the settings, volume, drivers, mute etc are fine then it's possible the socket may have been damaged when the lead got pulled out.

Thanks all, I have found the problem, there were three sockets pink,yellow and green. I assumed it came out of one of them but there was another socket at the bottom which was obscured. Plugged the speakers there and bingo, I now have Sound.
