No sound from sound card or from motherboard slot

[AledJ]

So got my system today but one big problem........plugging my speakers in produces no sound (and yes they are in the correct ones) I plugged my speaker in to the front of the case, and I get sound but nothing from sound card.

I have looked in all the sound option and can't see anything out of place. In playback the soudn card is selected as the default device. I thought it may have been a usb thing that was hanging out the back of the case, but removing it does nothing (and I have no idea what it is. Its blue inside the usb tip)

Any scan people about??

I'm guessing you are using the onboard sound on the MB and not a seperate Sound Card ? Are you plugging the speaker into a headphone 3.5mm jack on the front of the case and getting sound ? Cant be anything serious I would have though.

Make double sure you are using the correct socket on the MB and not a mike etc.

Found the problem!! Looked in the ASUS soundcard program and found headset was selected not speakers. All sorted now!!
