Sound problem Windows XP Pro

[Kevin]

Try Checking the basics first.(Wires, Volume)
Then
goto "start>Programs>accessories>entertainment>volume
control" and make sure the mute box is not checked.
Then check and make sure your card is securely inserted
in its slot. If windows is reconizing the card as
existing hardware, then it's probably just your speakers.
Try using headphones to see if it's your speakers.

Thanks Kevin...have done all that, but still no luck. Have tried speakers
and headphones, both don't work.

Any other ideas before I go see the repairman?

Cheers,
Antony

Sounds familiar. Check this out and see if it helps.
Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>Entertainment>Volume
Control. Click the "Advanced" radio button and make sure
that the "Digital Music Only" box is checked.

Let me know if this helped.
