My new speakers will not work!

[Higher_Game]

My old ones worked fine for years, but recently the left one would stop working for a few seconds before starting again. This problem got worse over weeks. So, I decided to buy new speakers.

I connected them but there is no sound! They are Sicuro 2.1 speakers. My computer's sound card is fine because the old ones worked.

What am I doing wrong?

You've supplied them power?

Are you possitive your soundcard can work with 2.1 and higher audo sets? Have you configured the sound menu in Windows?

So far, I've gotten better with the speakers. The power works fine. The 2 satellites now work, but the subwoofer doesn't. I got the satellites to work by moving the green wire to the white slot instead of the green slot in the back on the computer.

I checked the audio under control panel, and I saw a lot of options for speaker types, but 2.1 wasn't there. I think I might have a software issue.

You can see if updating your drivers work.

What type of soundcard do you got?

[Higher_Game]

C-Media AC97 Audio device sound device is what I have.

[Raptor]

An onboard, correct?

I suggest you update your motherboard drivers. These should include new soundcard drivers as well.

I found the company's web site but I didn't know which driver to get. I also don't know how to see what motherboard I have.

It should be written on your mainboard.

I suggest you contact the manufacturers Technical support to aquire the information you need.
