External (5.1 Powered) Speakers No Sounds
Hello, this started a few years ago. Got into gaming. At first, no problem picking between headset and external speakers, then slowly change, do no sound. I can pick either one, headset/mic always works. I can listen to music and movies through headset. Did a complete new install of Windows 7 onto an SSD, my Steam Games are on another SSD, also installed a new 2 Tb hard drive or general stuff. I have Realtek HD Audio Manager installed ( same as when i first bought the computer ). The sound bar ( when I pick external speakers ) rises and falls with audio, but noting to speakers. When I set up the speaker config and test, I see each speaker being activated, and I only hear a very low Bzzzz/Humm, from each speaker as it's being tested. The external speakers are selected as default, ran audio troubleshooter, downloaded/installed/uninstalled Realtek Audio manager over and over again, drivers too. Nothing has helped. Here are my specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1, Desktop

I have checked the speakers unplugged with another device, they work great. When I plug them back in, the computer knows and says you've plugged something in, color coded cables to color coded jacks on back of computer. They are self-powered, and the volume control is turned all the way up. They are Creative 5.1 Surround Sound. Also, the computer came with THX TruStudio PC, I reinstalled it but it didn't work, so I uninstalled it. I would like the speakers to work so I can listen to movies/music. OR, I can get a USB ? converter? to plug in ? Any suggestion, advice or U can just say well you're @#$%^&* ! Thanks
