I don't have an answer for you, but I want you to know that I respect 
the problem!

Just a totally random thought, but have you twisted/replugged the plug 
between the sound card and speakers? 

After that, I suspect that you will need to borrow a sound source 
compatible with your speakers to test them.

Sorry to not be any real help here.
