Hello everybody, I have xp installed with the service pack 1 and yesterday
while listening to a song my audio was lost . It started progressively and
it lasted for about 5 minutes before becoming almost silent but I also must
say that my bass box is still working but if you listen to bass only you
know that it's all garbled garbage. Another thing I must mention is that I
run into a similar problem about a year ago and if I remember correctly I
was missing a driver but I ran windows update then and fixed it. I ran
windows update now but couldn't find anything really. I checked all the
wires and it's looking good. My speakers are Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 DTT
2200. There are 2 speakers and when I put them on my ear I sense that they are working but they just don't have sound right now. I hope you can help me with some suggestions.
I went throgh all windows
troublshooting, checked drivers etc and I went to the microsoft page but couldn't
help it. It's really mind boggling at this point

hmm thats an odd problem. it could very well depend on what program you are using to play the audio. was it winamp or windows media or something else like fruity loops or cubase?

i have a problem with my sound too on my laptop it seems as though my soundcard and winamp specifically don't get along. I will be listening to music then all of a sudden *poof* silence and playback stops and the equalizer bars are frozen at the last position. i later found out on winamp.com that this is a common problem and fixed it with some updated drivers and buffer settings. it may be useful to check the page for the program you lost sound in. unless the sound just doesn't work in any program period, which then I wouldn't be sure where to send ya

check your soundcard page for updates if you haven't done that yet, and best of luck I know how useless the PC is without sound!

I'm having the same problem! Headphones work fine in my sound card but when I use my speakers only the bass works. I've got a Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 system and my satellites are dead as well.

*Begins to wonder if the RIAA has anything to do with this*

Try plugging it into a CD player and see if it's the computer of the speaker itself.

I played winamp, windows player, real player and they all sound the same It's a really funny sound of beats and bass. I checked all the hardware conflicts or driver updates and basically everything seems ok. I was using winamp when the sound droped , it was just ridiculous to hear the sound get weaker in 5 minutes and then it's done. Now I don't have any sounds from the speaker but only from the bass box.

I was thinking my amp went. I've contacted Klipsch on my problem so I'll see what they have to say or do.

I think it is , I checket it out , pulled it out and put it back in but it's still the same problem. I am thinking my speakers may be failing or dead

plug a cd player ( or any other audio device) into the input hole and see if anything comes out. OR you dont have a wire to run just plug the whole set into whatever and see if the same thing happens. If it does, most likely its the speakers (klipsch are good so I would hope they are ok) Although if the sound works just fine then its your comp. Try completely removing the drivers for your audio device and reinstalling them. Also make sure you have the speaker settings done correctly (set for 5.1) Make sure there arnt any wires crossed or any bare spots either. If they get crossed down the line strange things happen.

What do you mean by "crossed" and "bare spots"? I've checked my soundcard by plugging my headphones into it, sounds perfect. I've even plugged the headphones into the volume control unit the Klipsch speakers come with and sound is good.

Talking about the wires leading to the speakers. If the shilding got damaged and the wires touch it can make the bass sound like ass and no other sound should come out. I have the 4.1 so not sure how the hook up is on yours. The wires are all conected to the back of my sub. You can try unpluging all of the speakers and hooking them back up one at a time and see what happens.
