Some questions.  You say that you went through the sound system settings.  What 
are you using for Jaws?  Are you using an onboard sound chip that is on the 
motherboard?  Is this sound chip enabled in the bios?  What opperating system 
are you running on the PC?

  Subject: [ddots-l] Computer speakers quit working


  My client, Nick Baker, recently had a new computer case put on his PC, and 
suddenly we're getting no sound from the PC speakers, which he uses for the 
system, JAWS, internet, and media player audio.

  The speakers hooked to the M-Audio Audiophile still work fine for his 
Caketalking project audio, so we've got JAWS speaking through these for now, 
but working on projects is troublesome this way.

  We checked and double-checked all connections, went through the device 
manager for his sound system settings, ran the troubleshooter, checked 
connections both inside and out again, restored the system to before the 
installation of the case, checked the system volume to make sure it didn't 
somehow get muted, etc. - still no sound from the PC speakers.  The speakers 
have power, the green power light is on, and we do hear the expected clicking 
sound when tapping on the end of the speaker jack.  Same sound card, same 
cables, same everything, except it's a brand new box.   Everything else with 
the computer works fine, and it's a nice brand new case.  How could changing 
the computer case suddenly cause the PC speakers to quit producing sound?  What 
more can we do to troubleshoot this?
