I tried everything that has been suggested here and still have no
success getting audio out of my new PC does anyone have anymore
suggestions? Cause at this point I am completely clueless...

Yeah I am definetly using the same port. I have another interesting
twist to this though, I just plugged in the sound card from my old PC
that I had just had these speakers plugged into last night and they
were working fine, and I still get no sound to the speakers. I am
completely lost at this juncture...

Despite the fact that your subject line reads "same port" are you sure?

Are you using the same audio source for the test?

I have just built a new computer with a gigabyte GA8N-SLI mobo with
built-in audio and I have installed XP and run the drivers disk that
came with the mobo to install the drivers. The drivers appear to be
perfectly fine when I look at the device manager (no warnings or
conflicts) and when I plug in my standard headphones (iPod ear buds was
the closest thing that I grabbed) the sound is fine but when I plug in
my 2.1 speakers (a set of Gateway speakers that I used with my old
comp) no sound is emmitted. I know that there is nothing wrong with
the speakers cause if I plug them into my old comp I can hear
everything just fine. I know that this makes NO sense, but I was
hoping maybe someone came across this problem somewhere and knows the
miracle solution to something small that is driving me NUTS!
