Angry System beep when adjusting volume control?

Hey all, using Windows XP Pro here, had no problems with it for the longest time (2+ years?), then suddenly one day my speakers decide that they do not want to play at full capacity anymore. (Barely audible at whatever they're stuck on now..) So I go though the drivers, update them, check the sound card, working, check the speakers, they work, finally come to the conclusion it's gotta be XP. (I also plowed through hundreds of posts but nothing said anything relevant to my situation, or so it seemed) So I look through the Volume Control and find that whenever I move the slider for Play Control (or Device Volume, guess they're the same slider, different names) the computer gives me a system beep. (the old error BEEP sound) Anyone know what's up with this?

I also noticed after this happened the dial on my speakers does nothing to turn up the volume. I used to be able to adjust my volume both by my speakers as well as by my PC, now it seems it can only be adjusted by my PC. (and at which it's stuck on a barely audible level...)


Anyone able to solve this problem?

-Thanks.

p.s. The Sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum, speakers are Klipsch THX 5.1
