Open the creative mixer and then right above the main volume control you
will see a red
plus sign. Click on it and make sure that the digital output is not checked.
If it is this is why
you have no sound.

Should fix the problem.

If not go to the control panel/multimedia/and put and check the mixer
settings in there to make
sure that everything is turned on.
