Not that I'm aware of.

One more question, Brian: If I plug the speakers into my new notebook computer at the Audio connector, will I need special drivers or other software to make them work?

Thank you again!

Although "Device Manager" reports your Creative SB Live to be working properly, that doesn't ensure it is.

Have you checked to make sure the speakers cable(s) is plugged into the correct jack(s)?

Have you tested the speakers on another PC to verify/discount them as the cause or have you tried connecting known good working speakers to you PC to verify/discount them as the cause?

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers/software for the Creative SB Live? If you need to, download the drivers from your PC manufacturers support site and install them per their instructions or get them for your exact Make/Model Creative SB Live! device from the Creative support site.
http://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=1&CatName=Sound+Blaster#

Is your device shown/selected as the "Sound Playback Default" device to use in Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices applet > Audio tab?
If yes, click the "Advanced" button and make sure the correct speaker configuration is selected.
If no, is it selectable in the "Sound Playback Default" dropdown list? If not listed/selectable, uninstall/reinstall the drivers as previously mentioned.

Not sure what the Sound card is. There are several things listed in Device Manager under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. If the Sound card is Creative SB Live! Series (WDM), under Properties it says "This device is working properly." Is there anything else I should look at there?

The other things in Device Manager that seem to have something to do with sound are Audio Codex, Legacy Audio Drivers, and UniModem Half-Duplex Audio Device. Properties for all of them show "This device is working properly."

I didn't install any wireless card with the router. I was replacing my old router with the wireless one so I could use my new notebook computer on the network. The router is plugged into the desktop computer (the computer with no sound).

Thank you!

What does Device Manager show for your Sound card?
Did you also install a Wireless NIC/Network card at the same time you installed the router?

A week ago, a friend helped me install a new wireless router on my 5-year-old Dell desktop computer running Windows XP SP3. Immediately after that, all my usual computer sounds (startup, closedown, plugging in a device, etc.) got much quieter. Turning up the volume on the speaker and at the volume control on the taskbar had no effect. Yesterday the sound disappeared entirely. The speakers are plugged in to the power supply (green light on) and to the computer.

I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me where I should start troubleshooting.

Thank you!
