My audio has worked fine until a while ago (other than the mic-in having unacceptable levels of noise). Wanting to get a decent guitar recording, I tried plugging in my iMic (USB audio interface) to get a cleaner line-in, and keep the audio-out from the onboard (C-Media Wave Device). I plugged it in, all of a sudden all my in/out settings defaulted to the iMic and all went silent (obviously, mo speakers were plugged in to the iMic-out). I managed to set the Sound Playback back through C-Media, but nothing came out. Worried, I unplugged the iMic and everything defaulted back to the C-Media, but still no sound. Uh-oh. What now? All the settings I can see are back to pre-iMic, but still nothing coming out of the Line-out.
It's a software problem as there is a signal going to the speakers (muting/unmuting line/mic inputs, you can hear the different in signal noise, so there is output). And sound works in Linux (quiet, but it's there). Therefore it's not a motherboard BIOS issue, so I'm thinking Windows. Any ideas?
(sorry if this is in the wrong section, I just presumed since I think it's a WinXP problem this would be right. I just copy&pasted this from one of the 3 other forums I've posted it on, with not one response from any after over a month :|)
