I just got my computer repaired and i seem to get sound from my cpu if the speaker wire is half way in. I dont understand how
could sound come out of the cpu and it sounds so crappy. So i plugged the wire fully through and no sound is coming from the speakers.
I checked Device manager and nothing wrong there. I also checked control panel - audio devices, SoundMAX Digital Audio is also working.
I have no idea what's going on, i could ask the person who repaired but i cant at this moment and i really want to fix this asap.

Neither do I, mine comes out of the sound card. Make sure you've got the plug in the right socket. If you only have one cable it's the green socket. That might seem obvious, but I have already experienced this faux pas. They thought the sound was broken but they had just plugged the speaker cable into the wrong socket. If you open the volume control applet check that the sound hasn't been muted accidentally. Also make sure your speakers are plugged in and turned on. This also sounds silly, but it can happen. Check the simplest things first.
