Onboard audio

[dearlover]

I built a new computer the other day and everything was great the first night. In the hour or so I didn't have my firewall/AV running I got a worm of sorts that wouldn't ah heck off. So I just formatted again since it was so early.

Upon reinstallation of the chipset drivers I discovered I had no sound. I downloaded the latest audio drivers from the LanParty website, but that didn't work. There are no conflicts in the Device Manager and I've not received any errors. I checked the speakers by plugging headphones in but I can't hear sound in those either. It seems to play fine in Winamp, I just can't hear it.

So I formatted again, thinking something screwed up on the last install. But that didn't change a thing. Still no sound.

The night it worked I flashed the BIOS, that's the only thing that has changed that I imagine could affect the audio.

Can anyone suggest a possible solution?

Thank you.

EDIT sorry didn't read it through right the first time


I would try installing a sound card, if that works then it's probably your mobo. If it doesn't then something else is f-ed up.

I've tried every little test I can think of, except using another sound card (ordered and on it's way). The connector on the back seems fine, speakers work, no conflicts in device manager. I am getting an occasional "Stop: 0x0000009c" error upon booting up, don't know if that's related. I suppose my luck ran shallow this time around and I got a bad board. I think I'll RMA it. Thanks.
