Something is wrong with the sound on my computer. I turned up the volume as high as it gets, I made sure that the Napster sound was the highest it could be, my dad did a virus scan on the computer and nothing came up. What do you think could be wrong?

This goes on and off. Some times the sound will be gone and sometimes it will be on. It's been gone for a week, and I'm getting sick of it.

I plugged the headphones in the CD player. The headphones work. I tried to double click on the volume control, but a box came up that says,
Unable to change the the sound device to your selected device.

Are you getting sound from any other programs, like the Windows startup sound?
All the others answers were good ones, except they forgot to mention to check and see if your speakers are powered up from the wall socket...Or disconnected at the back of the speakers
No Power=No Sound.....
Another possibility is that your speakers are just plain blown-up dead....Try plugging a set of headphones into where your speakers go on the back of your computer...If you have all the different volumes cranked up on your puter, you might not want to put them on your ears though....hehehehe...
Have you unplugged your speakers from the computer recently? you might have plugged them back into the wrong spot...If your sound card has color-coded plug-ins, the speakers plug into the GREEN hole...Unless you're running them on the DIGITAL line (like some kinds of 5.1 or 7.1 surround speaker systems do). If you are running digital only speakers, plugging a headset into the digital output plug will NOT get you any sound in the headset...
Another thing to try (for non-digital speakers) is plugging the speakers into a different source like a CD player or a Walkman to see if they are working.

Double click on the sound icon in the left bottom of the screen then go to master volume and move it up all the way.

My computer has this problem sometimes also. When it happens to me no sound comes out at all. Not even from other programs. What I do is just restart the computer and usually it works fine after that.
That's all I know, hope it helps!

Competing sound controls? Is the main volume control on the task bar set at one place, and your Media player set somewhere else?

Bad sound card, bad sound card driver, software conflicts
