ECS K7VTA3 v5.0

[Courage]

Hi everybody.
This motherboard has an onboard sound. Not long ago it stopped working for no
apparent reason. It happend after I've taken out and put back in CPU. Didn't touch
anything else. Nevertheless my comp gone mute and no matter what I do, nothing helps.
I tried reinstalling drivers, turning on all possibly related to sound features in BIOS,
using different speakers, (yelling at it, and hitting it ) and finally, tried installing
an PCI sound card from my second computer but still, this damn piece of junk remains
steadfast as a friggin Rembo during interrogation!

Has anyone ever encountered a similar problem with this board.
Please help me fix this ??????, ???????? ?????.

The usual mistake would be to have the loopback jumpers on the front-audio header removed. You need them installed to use the rear jacks.

Also, you wouldn't be the first whose Windows sound driver stack is screwed up beyond repair, rendering ANY sound solution you stick in there mute.
