Hi! I have a problem with desktop speakers, buzzing sound without reproduction from sound card...other speakers work properly, so obviosly it is a problem with the speakers..the power suply is ok, diode is working... Any sugestions?

if you buy a 5.1 speaker you also need 5.1 sound card that supports the speakers. although it will still work with ordinary sound card but you can't actually use the feature of the speakers. the buzzing sound can cause by loose connections of the audio cable or audio connector. you can also hear a buzzing sound if you connect it at the wrong port. just remember the color codes
green - audio out (for speakers) red - microphone blue - line in or audio in black - digital audio

First, speakers don't have drivers (although one of the names used for a speaker is a driver.) Sound cards have drivers.



Inspire T5900 MF4045 Speakers Do Not Require Drivers/Applications to Work (Non-USB Speakers)

Creative speakers do not need to be installed at all as they can be plugged in to a device and ready to be used straight away.

Desktop speakers are designed to function with most sound cards without the use of any drivers. As such, there are no drivers necessary for the speakers to function as they were designed. The sound card or audio device which the speakers are plugged into may require drivers and/or software to work. Ensure that your speaker is connected to your sound card's audio out and that your sound card is configured properly to output sound. Please contact the sound card manufacturer for driver availability.

There are NO drivers for any desktop speakers, you only need drivers for your sound card. Your support page states this .....

Hi
Check that your volume is up, check in control panel if Sound and audio devices have the sound card recognized properly.

if not , right click on my computer on the desktop , click properties , click on hardware and then select device manager , check if the sound card is installed or if there are yellow exclamation marks.

exclamation marks : right click them and select install and reboot this should force the recognition of the card, if that does not work get the drivers for your sound card and reinstall

in a

Hi,

Please cross check the audio driver is installed or not from Device Manager

My Computer(right click)-> Properties-> Hardware->Device Manager ->Sound,Video & Game Controller(expand it)-> See if any thinh with yelow ? symbol.


If it is please install the audio driver from manufactures web site.

Do you have a speaker to connected to the computer? You need to isolate the problem, follow the instructions below:

1. Connect the speaker into different computer to make sure that the speaker is working.
2. Check the volume settings by double-clicking the speaker icon on the System Tray (down by the clock) and make sure that the Mute box is not checked.
3. Check the sound properties of the problem computer:
* Go to the Control Panel > click on "Sounds" or "Sounds and Audio Devices"
* Go to Audio tab and check the sound recording and play-back
* Make sure that those two field are configured properly.

If the speaker worked on other computer and the sound properties is configured properly, then there could be a problem with the sound card that you have in your computer. Maybe updating or re-installing the sound card driver will do.

Hope these helps and have a great day!

Hi,
Make Sure you have connected properly. If you purchase the speakers from DELL, Click here download the manuals.
Thanks, PREM

Unplug any speakers and microphone then reboot your computer. If the "no device" error is gone you can confirm the sound card is working in control panel/system/device manager. Right click on the sound device there, select properties. It should say the device is working properly. If there are any yellow warnings signs will need that info. If not then try connecting the speakers.

Sounds like you tried everything possible. Based on what you have stated that you tried already I would agree with your diagnosis of a bad sound card.
If this was my Laptop I would be looking for a nice set of USB speakers and Microphone or a headset.
You can either keep the speakers turned down or you may be able to disable the onboard sound through a BIOS setting.

Or even better. Here is a USB sound card with speaker and microphone jacks. Pretty Cheap too.
