I recent bought a new PC, with Windows 7. I gave my old PC (still in great shape), with Windows XP Professional, to a friend who lives 200 miles away.
While mostly a novice, he is getting along well with it except for one issue - sound. With my phone and email help he bought and installed a pair of Logitek speakers using the "pea green" stereo output jack on the PC. He receives the Windows sign-on music loud and clear each time he turns the PC on. However, when he surfs to a website which includes audio with the visual (you tube, etc.) he sees the visual information, but hears no audio. I was using the PC, when I had it, to input and edit external audio, and I had probably reset some of the software switching. Working with him on the phone, I have not been able to talk him through the sound windows to effect a fix, since I can't see his XP screen.
Can someone provide us a step by step sequence of instructions (click START, click CONTROL PANEL, click...) to go into the software, and reconnect audio coming from internet sources to the speakers?
