Its in the green port. It makes a noise when I get an email, put it off, it just won't let me hear video clips of the news or whatever? Maybe I'm just thick and not doing it right? Where can I test it incase I'm not?

What are you using for a player? The player will have a volume control make sure it is turned up. Check the audio mixer (if using the default windows mixer double click on the speaker by the clock) that all the volume sliders are at max.
Do you get any sound such as the beeps and such when windows opens? If not check the device manager (in XP right click on "My Computer" click on "Manage" and click on "Device Manager". There should be a catagory "sound, Video and game controlers" which should show the drivers for your sound card. If they are instead listed instead under the Other catagory then your tech didnt load the drivers.
Next which port are you plugged into. Check the icons on the new audio card that you are plugged into audio out and you are now plugged into the origional sound jacks on the front of the case or attached to the motherboard (if the tech installed a new sound card the built in should have been disabled and will not work if you try to use them).
Lastly check in the control panel under Sounds and audio devices that the new card is set as the default

First, I know it sounds basic, but 1) make sure it is not muted. 2) Do the speakers have an on/off button 3) You have to make sure also both the Windows built-in voulme is up as well as the Media player you are using. 4) Make sure you are pluging it in the correct inlet, as there are three at least, speaker, mic, and line-in 5) Try with anothe media player to make sure that is not the problem. VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) has a very nice and free one that plays everyhting.6) It could be related to not having the correct sound codecs installed.

Be sure to plug the speakers to the green-outlined port in either your sound card or your motherboard's built-in sound port. If that doesn't solve your problem, disable your motherboard's built-in sound device and specify that you are going to use your sound/media card instead. You can to this by going to Control Panel->Sound and Audio Devices->click the audio tab, then click on the dropdown boxes and select your sound/media card from the list. If that still doesn't work, check the Internet for your card's updated driver.

The problem you're now receiving is either due to a pop-up blocker or your firewall. The pop-up blocker is trying to prevent further windows from opening up on your desktop. You should be able to 'make an exception' in the controls of your pop-up blocker. I'm afraid I can't guide you further as you haven't stated which pop-up blocker you're using.
If it's your firewall that's causing the 'problem', it shows that it's doing it's job. It's receiving a signal that's trying to make contact with your computer. Again, you'll need to 'make an exception' for bbc.co.uk in it's controls. Sorry, but it's slightly different for different firewalls as to how you accomplish this.
Hopefully, you'll be able to discover how to make the relevant exceptions, and thereby allow transmissions from BBC to access your computer. (You might like to try disabling your pop-up blocker whilst you're on the BBC site, and re-enabling it once you're done ... if it's the pop-up blocker that's prevent you getting through.)
Best of luck.

Hi!
At first,make sure you have all video/audio codec.
Use lastest updates for soundcard driver.
Chack control panel and sound device.
If there no sound device thats means you didnt install your device good.
Depands on software you use,try to enable audio output and scale sound to maximum.
Regards!

The most common problem is you simply have the speakers plugged in wrong.
