My previous system crashed, I installed windows xp and now my speakers wont work. I have Platinum JBL series, speaker. The light is on but no sound. Please help.
Your drivers may also need to be updated. Check the "Devices" section under your 'My Computer' and look for any driver updates -- this can a be common issue with audio when reinstalling operating system software.
I hope that this helps.

Hi, It may not be a problem with the speakers but the the sound drivers of your PC. Verify that your Sound, video and game controller drivers are installed correctly/completely with no yellow or red markings in your Device Manager. If yes, try to uninstall and re-install using the original CD that came with the motherboard/PC as driver source. Alternately, you can download newer drivers if available. Hope this be of some idea/help. Post back how things turn up or should you need additional information. Pls include brand/model/version of your PC or motherboard. Good luck and kind regards.
