Speakers Not Working

Hi,
Recently my speakers just stopped working. I have ran dxdiag tests and Creative diagnostic tests and they say everything is ok. The speakers themselves are connected and function fine physically, i.e. they turn on etc. but when for example I try to play a Youtube video the sound will not work. Or when I play music from iTunes it clearly shows that it's playing but the no sound comes from the speakers.

This problem has occured once before and I fixed it somehow but I don't remember how.

The sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Live series card and the speakers are generic Dell 2.1 speakers.

Thanks,
Van

There's nothing flagged in device manager. By driver I'm assuming sound card driver. I will do that and let you know what happened.
If anyone else can help it would really be appreciated.
Thanks,

All drivers are already the latest, meaning it still doesn't work.

Alright I fixed it!
Kind of stupid, but all I did was unplug the connection to the sound card and plug it back in. I also disabled onboard sound, but I don't know if that had any effect on it.

Thanks,
Van
