However, the old rule that the more complex something is, the more likely that it is to malfunction, still applies.
This article takes a look at how to troubleshoot some of the many sound card problems that can occur in Windows XP. This utility allows you to test your speakers, the sound card, and several media formats with a few simple mouse clicks. Testing your speakers The easiest method of testing your speakers is to plug your computer speakers directly into a headphone jack of a portable radio or CD player.
After adjusting the sound controls on the speakers and the player, you should hear sound through your computer speakers. If no sound is present, temporarily disconnect the speakers and verify that sound is coming from the boom box when the speakers are disconnected. You should also verify that the speakers are receiving power.
Finally, double check to make sure that the speakers are plugged in and that the volume level is adequate. When the Volume Control is open, verify that all levels are somewhere in the middle, that the balance is set to the center, and nothing has been muted.
Now, close the Volume Control and try again to play a sound. Some sound cards have very misleading markings to indicate what device gets plugged into each port. A sound card is one of the more difficult hardware components to troubleshoot because Windows treats this one single hardware device as multiple hardware devices, each with its own resources.

Doing so will force Windows to search the system for new hardware devices. If this happens, be prepared to provide Windows with a driver for the sound card.
