Have you tried to reload the drivers? Or if you have some "off-board" soundcard, you could try moving it to another slot.

how would i reload the drivers, i dont think it helps that i dont know what speakers i have because they came with the computer.

The speakers have nothing to do with installing the drivers for the sound card. Is it on board sound or are you using a dedicated sound card? What motherboard are you using? One note...If you have high definition sound then you must install the Microsoft UAA bus driver in order for the driver for the sound card to get installed. Post back with answers to my questions and we can help you out.

Is this a store bought computer? such as Dell, Hp, Compaq, Gateway etc.. or did someone custom build this for you? If its store bought, we need the model number of the PC. If its custom built, we need the model of the motherboard.

00043-495-724-318

sounds like your gonna need a computer savvy friend or relative to help you out on this one. I did a google search on "time computers" and came up with some company out of Los Angeles california. But the name of the company was "On Time Computers". Same company??? Very shady company from what I read about it.
