I've just clean reinstalled Windows XP SP2, everything is fine but sound! I've tried the Device Manager and check the sound components, all of them say working properly.

I'm sure the speakers are connected to the computer, because the speaker's light is on, and produce little sound when I turn on/off the speaker.

When I try to play music in Windows Media Player, it shows:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly.

It doesn't even lets me play music, not only produce no sound. What should I do? Help!
 
it's possible that windows xp installed a default sound card driver from it's files, and it may not be really proper. so, try doing windows update, it could find the proper driver for ur sound card.

Are the drivers for your Sound Card installed? You may have them on the manufacturer's CD or obtain them from the manufacturer's site.
