Have tried adjusting settings, speakers NOT muted, etc but no joy. Not sure what wrong. Know I have Sound Blaster card. Also tried MoBoard jacks, still no joy. I hear static from mouse scrolls, keystrokes, etc. as well as 'hum'/static through speakers. Sounds from songs, videos, etc. are preceptible but muffled even with volume high.
