Literally, the sound from my speakers just disappeared. [View all]

So I checked the input into the PC (good), the connection to power for the speakers (good) and rebooted in case that was it. Nope. Occasionally the speaker makes a sound like distant thunder but that's it. What are the odds it would be the sound board? Or could it be the speakers have just 'died'?
Suggestions? Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks!
