Did you reinstall the sound card drivers?

Ensure you've connected your amplifier to the card's Line-out port. It sounds like
you've used the Line-in or Mic ports.

Check the cable connection between the soundcard and speaker.
Make sure the Wav volume is max.
Try to download the latest soundcard driver.

If the above doesn't works, probably your soundcard is going south.

Audio speakers are connected to the speaker out.

I had a similar kind of problem A while ago, on a Friend's PC. Try to
uninstall the Soundcard's Driver ( [A.] Reboot, [B.] Disable onboard sound
in BIOS ) & Reinstall.
( When System notifies you of new hardware found, Cancel & Install From CD
that came with the soundcard. )
