Advice and help on computer audio speakers please!

Today, my computer has decided to suddenly not recognize the speakers. I cannot get volume control up and on the speakers properties, it says there is "no audio device"...

They were working fine this morning but the controls were messed up and now they are completely muted by the internal computer. I've tried everything off the audio section on my control panel (of WindowsXP), can anyone offer some advice to me??????


Thanks, if you need more info about this annoying situation I'm in, I will post it on request if I've missed a critical part of the scenario.

Thanks for the advice - please help me!

I cannot even open the volume control because "There are no active mixer devices available" and tells me to install one through the Add hardware wizard on my control panel so therefore I cannot turn everything on full!!!

The speakers are all plugged in correctly and are powered. When at max volume on the knob on the speakers, I hear only the faint "buzzing" of the computer and that is it.

Install the drivers for your audio hardware

Is that most likely to be my audio codecs? as it says they are all working properly.

My Windows Media Player cannot play any music files as it says there is a problem but the drivers seem to be operating as normal though critically my speakers themselves as hardware are not recognized!

This contradiction of the computer is why I myself am puzzled as I have tried everything it will let me do to do with the speakers, the audio and sound!
