No sound from speakers

[Little Marine]

I bought a computer from one of the IT guys where I work that I put Windows 7 Home Premium on .I can't get my speakers to work. The speakers work on my laptop.  The mother board is an Austek P5N 32E-SLi. The sound card is a Creative SBX-Fi. All of the drivers are updated. I even bought a USB sound device. My speakers will not work with it either .I went into the control panel and designated the speakers on the sound card as the default device. Does anyone have any suggestions on to get my speakers to work?

Were you able to get sound before you installed win 7? Any yellow asterisks in device manager?truenorth

Was the sound card you mention an add-on card in an expansion slot?  Do the motherboard also have built-in sound?

I didn't have sound before because I had to put a new hard drive in. There are no yellow asterisks in device manager. There is two sound cards. One is built into the motherboard and the other is in an expansion slot. I will check out the site true north suggested.

Have you tried using the speakers on the built-in sound controller, or "card"?  You may need to access BIOS settings and disable the built-in, i.e. onboard, sound in order for your Creative SBX-Fi card to work.

The built in sound card doesn't work either. So I bought another card and the sound works now. Thanks for all of the advice,
