Vista Tutorial - No sound

Hi
Earlier on today, i unplugged my speaker jack to put it into a laptop (didnt work), i then plugged it back into my PC and the sound didnt work. I also tried plugging in headphones (into the rear panel, the front panel has never worked for headphones), they also didnt work. I plugged my speakers into my ipod and they worked, so im guessing its to do with the computer. The speakers are definatly wired up correctly.

The speakers are labtec pulse 350
I have vista 32bit home edition and have never had any problems with these speakers before.

Thanks in advance :)

I cant offer any help, but I can say I know how youre feeling! My laptop is doing the same thing.

On your taskbar does your volume icon have an X in a red circle?

Wonder if were having the same problem

hi
my volume bar is there (with no red cirlce or x), but it only has the volume for my digital output device, im assuming thats my sound card. Also, my computer says that the speakers arent plugged in, so prob different problem.

Isnt that red circle with a cross a sign for when the sound is muted btw?

hi killeroo, can you right click your volume icon for me, open the playback devices option, if you look in there and tell me what options you have, if you have a "speakers" option, can you select it and set as default device. this should solve the problem, ive also attached an image of what you need to do.

unfortunately i get this:
