Also i have tinkered with my speakers and still nothing the sound is fully up on windows and on my analog speakers thanks..

Hi.

I have an Asus mobo and I am using the onboard sound.
When I run the sound test I get sound from all my speakers (4+sub) but
when I run a mp3 through WMP it only works on the front 2 speakers.
I did not have a problem when I was running XP, is there something that I need to turn on in WMP?

I just recently moved for an internship this summer. I ended up driving out and decided to take my desktop computer with me. As soon as I got to my destination I set everything up and realized that my sound was not working.

I do not have a sound card I was just using the unboard sound from my Intel DG965WH motherboad. I messed around with it a little... Tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. When I right click the sound icon in the system tray and select the playback devices it lists a Digital Output Device that says "Working", and Speakers that say "Not Plugged In". Whenever I play music or anything the mixer for the Digital Output Device moves like the music is playing but there is absolutely no sound.

One of the first things I did with Windows Vista is I turned the sound effects off. Lately, I haven't even had my speakers turned on. But recently I turned them on and found that every time I hovered my mouse over an area where I can make a selection (a pane that includes checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.), I get this quick, futuristic sound of a woosh followed by computery beeping. I went into the sounds control panel and saw that I still had the No Sounds theme, and there were no modifications in the list. I then played all sounds in c:\windows\media, and none of them matched. I then searched for all WAV files on my computer, selected all and played them in WMP (very entertaining), but none of those matched, either. I don't know what to do. If no one's familiar with this sound, perhaps someone knows of a way to see what sound is being called up by my computer in real-time or in some sort of log?

First of all here are my computer specs

AMD Athlon 64 processor
1 gig of RAM
Radeon x1600 video card
Asus K8V-X SE mobo
SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
running Windows Vista Ultimate

So after installing and getting all my drivers set up I figured I'd try out some games to see how they played. Well, most games are working fine, but neither Half Life 2 or Counterstrike Source have sound, and I really have no idea why. Sound works outside of those games, and it works fine for other games, so I don't know what the problem is. I also haven't been able to find anyone else who is having this problem, so any insight would really be appreciated.
