I cast my vote for the info provided by Steve......it is, most likely, going
to be a hardware issue. If you have access to another speaker system, try
that first. Most speaker systems require their own power source and have
amplifiers and sound volume built in. I doubt that will be the culprit,
but, it will be the easiest thing to eliminate as a cause, to start. The
next question would be whether your system is using "onboard" sound or a
seperate sound card. If onboard (on the motherboard) you may be
experiencing a component failure......if you have a seperate sound card, try
'reseating' it by removing the card and replacing it, making sure that it is
firmly in the slot.
Third party apps such as AIDA32 and SiSoft Sandra will provide information
on your system.
Heirloom, old and not much help
