Why did the sound to my laptop go out?

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
Hi there,
Can any one help?? I don’t have sound on my laptop. I’ve been using the Altec Lansing portable Audio System (used for my Ipod) as my laptop speakers for almost a year. However, I moved my desk from one room to the next and when I was setting everything up once again, I completely forgot to plug in the Altec Lansing to the my laptop before I turned it (AL system) on. The AL metal part that goes in headphone outlet touched one of the USB’s and gave a loud sound and the laptop built-in speakers gave out.
I don’t know if the events relate, but the laptop built-in speakers aren’t working, my Altec Lansing speakers aren’t sounding, and some extra set of nonrelated speakers I plugged in to test sound do not work.
I think the problem definitely resides in the laptop, but what could it be? If it was simply the built-in speakers that weren’t working, wouldn’t the Altec Lansing and other extra set of nonrelated speakers still work?
How do I adjust laptop audio to specific programs?
I have hooked up my laptop to the home stereo via an external sound card (RealTek). It works great for playing music but I was wondering how I may select for the laptop computer speakers to still be used for certain computer functions like log-in sounds, playing video clips, etc.
I’ve heard the laptop speakers work on little test functions in the control panel but can’t get any other use out of them.
Thanks.
The laptop is running Windows Vista.
