I just recently put together an old system of mine and now the sound is not working. Things play, the indicators in windows show sound is being monitored, however no matter which port i plug speakers into nothing comes out.
I figured maybe the on-board sound went bad and put in the sound card from my current rig that i got from my old rig, even that doesn't work. Windows recognizes and installs everything just fine. My best guess is that my motherboard may be having some problem processing audio correctly? Or it could just be a bad windows install? If anyone can offer some insight or fixes/more tests please let me know.
MoBo: A8N-SLI
Sound Card: X-fi Platinum
OS: Vista 64bit
