I just updated from Windows XP to Vista and now my speakers will not work. Anyone have any ideas?

My speakers are just the normal Dell speakers that come with the computer when you buy it.

Do headphones work? If not, then you may need to go to Dell's website, look up your PC's serial # or model, then find the vista drivers for your sound card.

Just go into the device manager ans see if the driver needs to be updated.
If you have a sound (located inside your computer) card and it is made by a company named Creative then that is your problem. It is not your speakers but your sound card that your speakers are hooked into on the back of your computer that is not working. The Dell web site might have a sound card driver download that might help you but if the sound card is from Creative then your problem might never get solved as Creative has still never released any workable upgrades to fix their sound card problems with Vista.

Edit update: One more thought. The Creative sound cards work great in XP and could be the main reason for your sound lose due to your Vista upgrade. As a computer expert for over 10 years I would go back to XP and run Vista only in a brand new computer. I run computers for Uncle Sam and we are still using Windows 2000/XP and will for at least another 5 years. I do not see Vista ever getting cleared for use. To many problems.
Aren't your speakers. It is your sound card. It's probably not compatible with vista. You can either go to microsoft website and check for drivers updates or if you know your sound card's brand, you can go to the website and find out. (Tip: if th speakers hook up to the top in the back, the sound card is integrated in your mother board, if it's in the bottom you have an actual sound card). If your computer is some sort of brand like compaq, or dell, or something like that, you can find your computer's components info in their websites.
