    Welcome to Windrivers Rob!


    OK start, control panel, sounds speech and audio devices - sounds and audio devices link at the bottom - audio tab

    What is the default sound playback device?
    On the volume tab - where is the volume slider? Is the mute checked? On the advanced button, what speaker setup do you have?

    I've done all that many times over and it all checks out ok. the default device is the on board audio chip "cmi8738/c3dx pci audio device,

    volume sliders are at the top and not muted.,

    the drivers were updated from microsoft update and also checkout on the vendors web (c-media inc) checked for XP.

    cannot find anything in device manager that is not showing everything is all right and working ok etc.

    speaker set up is desk stereo which is what I have

    Since everything worked prior to the upgrade, and you seem to have done everything driver wise, how about trying a different set of speakers?
    You just never no.
    Also, have you tried uninstalling the drivers and then rebooting?
    Good luck and welcome to WD.

    That leaves us with unpowered or blown speakers or the jack not in the green input....
