I assume you use a set of PC speakers with own power connector.
If the power connector is plugged in properly and the power source is operating flawless, then either the power cable or the internal power supply are broken.
The soundcard has by 100% nothing to do with the voltage control of your speakers. All it sends is an audio signal (Unless you relay on USB speakers, in which case the power actually MAY come from the computer, but I excluded that since you said you're using a soundcard, and those don't provide USB output).
Summary: Cable or PowerSupply or Power source not operating properly. (Or the switch). Either way, you should not open any high voltage electrical components as that may lead to a deadly electrical shock. Please consider an electrician or buy new speakers, if switching the power source doesn't help.
Now, you have cleared that it's not a software problem (I assume that only one speaker works in all applications/games) , so it's mechanical. Either the speaker is unplugged, the cable is damaged or in worst case the speaker died.
CHECK IF THE SOUND DRIVER HAS INSTALLED PROPERLY OR THE ONBOARD SOUNDCARD HAS BEEN DETECTED OR NOT.IF NOT DETECTED TRY THIS:
1.INSTALL XP AGAIN.
2.TRY REMOVING ALL SOUND RELATED APPLICATIONS AND RESTART THE MACHINE SEVERAL TIMES.
having multiple os's should not effect the settings it sounds like something directly related to the software you all are running for the surround. what is this sofware and is it updated, does it belong to the sound card or the speaker setup ?
