windows vista?
If so if you click on the speaker icon and view the playback devices, you should be able to set the "primary" output.

Right when I click the volume thing on the start bar and go the the mixer its showing as the SPDIF interface device is playing somthing but no sound from the speakers which I have plugged into the rear of the computer into the green jack (green being front speakers)

I think its a pretty simple problem but Im not sure quite what it is

yeah its all enabled in the bios. Its comming up as HD audio for the front pannel aswell so I think its all plugged in right.

This needs to be sorted by tonight so I can watch a film :lol:

I think its something to do with whats plug in to what internally. But I dont know where to start :lol:

i think you are supposed to use the plastic brackets on the drive and then they just slide in

the DVD drive screws are normally smaller than normal case screws if that helps

take a picture of your case, so we can see whether or not it has a cage etc ;)

I expect this will not answer his many more questions to come ;).
It might take you a few hours to put together. If like me you were anal about cable routing and neatness and went crazy with zip ties and cable mounts :lol:
