Need Help with on-board audio out port not working anymore!

Guys, I don't want to have to buy another motherboard, so I'm hoping I didn't zap it and damage the audio-out port on the mobo while moving it into my new case. When I powered up, I noticed there was no sound coming out of my speakers... i checked windows xp and it said the audio drivers are working properly... i tried reinstalling the drivers just in case and still no sound... i tried unplugging the connector from the audio-out port and checked my speakers and sub to make sure they were powered on... still no sound... i checked the windows volume settings... none of the mute boxes are checked and none of the volume levers are at 0.

so I thought maybe I shorted something out when i installed the mobo into the new case... so i unmounted the motherboard and put it back into my old case and still no sound...

my last alternative is to try reinstalling XP and hoping that will work... that somehow the drivers aren't working properly even though xp says they are... i doubt this will work though...

by the way.. the on-board mic-in port DOES work.. i plugged in my microphone and talked into it and the windows sound recorder picked up the sounds as confirmed by the spike in the activity monitor graph in that program.

so i was wondering if there's some sort of util to test my on-board audio-out port to see if it's dead or not?
anyone have any other suggestions?

thanks in advance





 
What motherboard is it? Maybe it just lost one of the necessary jumpers off the front-audio header and is now trying to route the audio to a non-existent front-audio jack.
 
it's a shuttle an35n-ultra. no jumpers were lost. and the onboard mic-in jack works fine... just not the 'audio out' jack..
 
Huh. Then I'm out of good suggestions. You might take the board out of the case, lay it on cardboard and see if it works outside the case. If it does, then maybe something's shorting out (a stray screw under the motherboard or something). Good luck!
