My speakers work just fine if I'm playing music from a file on my computer (winamp pops up), but if I want to watch a video online, or listen to any kind of audio online, there is no sound. I have gone to the gateway site and dl all the sound drivers they had listed for my serial #, because I wasn't sure which one to dl, and I think "maybe" one is interfering with the other, so I disabled the Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device (whatever that is), rebooted, and same problem. This site has saved me before...I'll keep my fingers crossed. Here is some preliminary info:

Plug some earphones into your speakers, reboot the pc and see if there is any output from the earphones.

Two problems with that...no earphone jack on my speakers, and I dont own any earphones.

disable onboard sound in BIOS, look under integrated peripherials or similar, there should be ac97 entry > DISABLE.

As for your Audigy sound card, try to find out which model it exactly is and get drivers for it from Creative site. Maybe you just need a new driver.

It sounds identical to the problem that I had a few builds ago. I had an Audigy 2 card in mine, which performed perfectly. Then, as Service Pack 2 came out, I had all kinds of sound problems. I was running an ASUS K8 series mobo, and sometimes there was no sound, sometimes I'd get a high pitched whine in the background and other times crackling and hissing noises. Don't know if it's a board problem, sound driver problem, SP2 problem or a combination. If I removed service pack 2, the problems disappeared. Installed service pack 2 again, and had the same problems. It was so irritating that I just swapped out the card and replaced it.

when i listen to my music on a music file it works but when i go online on internet explorer and play a song there seems to be no sound wtf do i do

So I downloaded the new driver, I've actually done this a few times with no results, but this time I ACTUALLY followed the installation instructions. Huh. Who KNEW! Speakers are just fine. Audio's up and running.
