So I've rewired it like you said (I think) http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/zombiesamurai/Sabertooth%20Kit/IMG_3859.jpg , but it still doesn't make any noise. I did turn the transistors around, thinking they were different pin out, I guess my next step is to switch them back and see what that does.

EDIT:
I switched the transistors back around, still nothing.

I've looked over the wiring and it looks like it's done correctly (of course I am the one having problems, so what do I know). Is there anything glaringly wrong that you can see in the pictures? How would I go about testing the switch? The light turns on when I turn it on, so I don't think it's the switch (unless it can be partially broken).

I recently built a Sabertooth kit and all seemed to be going well until I plugged it in. At first nothing worked, no light, no sound, nothing, but then I noticed there was a loose wire and re-soldered it. After plugging it back in, I could get the light to turn on, but still no sound (both bypassed and on). I have gone over everything that I can think of (though that is a limited list because of how new I am to this) ; I went over connections that looked like they could be dry, checked all my wiring over and over, still I could not figure out what was wrong. I looked up the transistors I'm using (2N3904 Vishay) and it looked like maybe the pin outs were backwards so I switched them on the board, still nothing. I do have an old analog multimeter, but do not know how to use it (willing to learn thoguh).
Here are some pictures of the project, I can take more as needed. Any help would be much appreciated.
