After a power outage my speakers weren't working. I tested my speakers on another device and they were working. I then used system restore and my speakers are working again. Does anyone have an idea what happened? I should add that while my computer is protected with a power surge outlet my speakers are not.
It would be my guess a driver problem, which was corrected by System Restore. I can tell you this, System Restore only helps with software problems; the problem was not with the speaker.
A surge protector protects if the power comes on unexpectedly, or surges, it does nothing when power goes off (your need an Uninterrupted Power Supply (a surge protector, with battery back up) like I have. Your driver became corrupted and the Restore made it good again.
To check to see if other problems happened in the OS, read this tutorial System Files - SFC Command
We had power out, too, in CT., from the Storm. New storm due about 9/11
