@Birojit: Have you tried latest drivers? You can also use Windows Update in Windows 7 for drivers search (missing/updated) via enabling Microsoft Update.

Have you tried going into "device manager" in Windows 7 and checking to see if your new sound device is listed under "sound, video and game controllers"? If not, then go up to the top menu and click on "action" and then "scan for hardware changes". But if it is listed, you can right click on the sound device and choose "update driver software". Windows will give you the option to search online for the driver, or ask if you have a CD. You can choose which method you want. Personally, I would try to find the latest driver available online.

To all who answered my post...Thank you very much. I have fortunately found a solution to my speaker problem. As it turns out, it was once again a simple solution.

I had spent all of my time trying to set or change speaker and/or sound card settings or changing the wires going from the speakers to the sound card into any number of combinations. (green into green, black into black, pink into orange and every other combo).

Then I thought, let's try changing the wires from the 4 satellited speakers in back of the subwoofer ( from white in white and red in red) to see if anything happens...

I took all four wires out and used only ONE wire at a time, trying each of the four holes. Eventually one of the speakers that DID NOT work...worked. I continued this until ALL 4 SPEAKERS WORKED!

As it turns out...the red wires are plugged into the white and the white wires are plugged into the red. Go figure. I don't know why that's the case but they work and they sound GREAT again so thanks again to everyone for leading me in the right direction.

PS My brother had the same problem with different speakers and I helped get his working. As mentioned in previous posts...You may only need a splitter ( which will allow you to "split" one wire into two connections or a Y-connector ( which will allow you to connect two wire to one outlet) whcih is what he needed. I got a set of about 5 different types of connectors at Walmart for about $20.
