  OK... Let's start backwards... do you have speakers that work on another
computer, try those..  could be a plug or wire that is broken?  If the
speakers worked on another PC, it could be the sound card... open up the
computer and see if there is a board plugged into one of the slots, if there
are any... (make sure Puter is not plugged in) you take it out and see if
you have or can get a replacement... they are cheap for older PC's. plug it
in and use an install disk if you bought a new card.
  This brings up the question of what Operating program is on the Puter now?
You should always mention this as one of the first things that an answer is
based on when posing a question.. Your Win95 programs probably wouldn't work
if the PC is using something as OLD as Windows3.1  (pre-Win95 anyway)
  If you know someone that works on computers some... you might be able to
re-format the Hard Drive an install a newer operating system, if it is
capable of this... With older computers, it's not worth the time or money to
do a whole lot else as they are pretty much obsolete for most users...  I
hope this might help you some as everybody has an opinion
 ;-)
