I recently bought a new computer with an Audigy 2 ZS sound card and hooked up my old speakers which worked fine on my old system. Problem is I can't get sound from them. I tried the sound diagnostics in Creatives software and it passed all the tests except I can't hear anything. I tried plugging in the speakers in every combination I could think of as well. I also can't hear anything on my headphones when I try to play a CD in the DVD drive. Could this be a problem with my sound card?

make sure all the volume settings are not muted/all the way down.

I've looked at all my volume settings and nothing is muted.

are your speakers plugged into the correct port on your soundcard?


I'm not sure, but I've tried every combination I could think of.

First uninstall it. Reinstall it. Plug your headphones into the port that shows an arrow pointing outward from some soundwaves that has a little number 1. Turn up the volume. Go to the sound/volume manager and make sure everything is ok.

Other than that, I dont know what else you can do.

Looks like I deserve dumbshit of the year award. It turns out there is a whole second set of audio outputs on the back of my computer that I totally missed. I guess I was plugging my speakers into the onboard audio. :roll:
