Epox 8KDA3j AC'97 Sound Problem

[egeekial]

Ok, I was using the built-in sound on my Epox 8KDA3j for a few months and then one day... it just stopped working. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers... nothing. Tried old drivers, new drivers... nothing. Upgraded the BIOS... nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?

Whenever I play with the sound utility, I can get the speakers to make a popping/clicking noise which makes my suspicious. I plugged in a USB sound device, and it works fine.

I just can't figure it out!

Maybe it's your speakers? Or the cord? Or the stereo jack?

Not the speakers... not the cord... because they work with the usb audio thing.
When I do "Mute all" in the sound config, the speakers "pop", so I'm assuming the connector is okay.

anyone?

It sounds to me like you have a hardware failure with the onboard sound. Does device manager say it's fine? If there's still no sound I'd assume it died.

Yeah, device manager says it's fine...
