Lets us know how it turns out and what the problem was if you don't mind.

Will do ... I sent an e-mail to Creative last night ... DELL actually called to follow up to see if there had been any resolution from Creative ...

This may sound simplistic, and perhaps you already check this (I can't tell by reading the post), but how are your speakers set up in the Control Panel?

=Go to Control Panel, then
=Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices
=Click on Sounds and Audio Devices
=Near the bottom right next to Speaker =Settings, click on Advanced
=Under the Speakers tab, select the proper speaker setup if not already correct
=Click Apply

PNWgirl .... Welcome to the S-Z forum ...
Thank you , but yes, we have gone through the steps you suggested ... Right now the PC is in the very capable hands of a PC tech who is going to save all my 'stuff' and reload the OS ... I can't wait to get it back ...we'll see what happens then ...

Benno,

I knew you would love the sound of the Z-5500 as soon as you heard it. I would be using them this afternoon, but the job was canceled because of nasty weather.

Enjoy,
