    BERT 5 - Welcome to the Board :)

    Check out a few basic things ....

    Whatever sound control panel you have check that the sound is not set to Mute.

    Check that the speakers are plugged in correctly and powered up

    If neither of the above apply uninstall the Via Audio through Device Manager and reboot to let Windows find it again.

    BTW - 'Device working Properly' can be misleading :)
