2. Right click the white Speaker icon on the bottom right of the screen
3. Select Playback Devices
4. When menu pops up click on the speakers your using.( Click speakers if you plugged a round plug into the back of your computer, Digital Audio S/PDIF if you plugged a black cable with a red light coming from inside into the back of your computer. If nether of these work then try all the others until you find the right one.)
5. Click configure

7. Use test button to see if sound comes out of all speakers
8. Click next twice and your golden
