No Sound Emission from Speakers

[jmpc]

I have a 4 speaker system with subwoofer connected to my computer. The speaker system is enabled and functional. However, there is no sound emission from speaker system when engaging application that should emit sounds output (i.e desktop music studio application). I am running Windows98 O/S.

I would suggest that you check to see that you have the correct drivers properly loaded for your sound card, that your speaker system is connected to the correct socket on your computer, and that you have power going to the speakers. Other than that, make sure you haven't turned the volume down in the computer setup.

Thank for your response.

I have just executed the DirectX diagnostic tool procedure. Pointing to 'sound tab' and clicking on 'Test DirectSound' button displayed the following note,"DirectSound test results:Failure at step 3 (DirectSound Create): HRESULT = 0X88780078 (no driver). Any help with what to do next will be appreciated.
