text: my speakers will not work with some programmes but will work with others what can i do to fix this. ty?   that depends on the programs you are having trouble with. the only think i can think of is if the programs that don't work are really old, then they might not understand your current sound card or drivers. to solve this problem, you can use a program calld vdms or vdmsound to run the program through (just search for it on yahoo or google). for newer programs having problems, you might want to check to see that there isn't a separate sound control in the program that is turned off. hope this helps...
