Saddam Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I had the same thing happen to my old pc, sound went completely, I fitted a different hdd then did a fresh install of windows and it fixed it. I can only assume it was a virus it had picked up along the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a new motherboard, search for a new motherboard with said socket. you are assuming i know what you are talking about i wouldn't be asking here if i did Quote Is it an intel chip? yes. but if a sound card does the trick why worry about changing everything else that works? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 @unity Mr ratdog did state he was looking to replace the motherboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how this works out, new MB would be a pain in the ass for just an old build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the chipset turns out to be dead, I would have gone down the route of suggesting a usb soundcard - can pick them up for £40 at amazon. i'm not unsure about messing with it, i've changed hdd's and dvd players etc, but i just ordered the wrong sound card last time and it was money down the toilet, so i'm reluctant to throw more money away so i started the thread if i had realised i didn't need the bloody wifi card i would be golden, i didn't give it a second thought the pc is a 'spare' atm so it's ok if i fuck it up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddam Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just now, unity said: TBH, it probably wasn't a virus but a corrupted driver I did try uninstalling all the audio drivers in device manager and reboot but the problem was still there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unity Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 after you rebooted did the audio device reinstall itself? Tried a different set of drivers? If you try to play some audio, does the application think it's playing OK, or does it give any error? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddam Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) 2 minutes ago, unity said: after you rebooted did the audio device reinstall itself? Yeah, just let the pc reinstall the drivers itself. The music/audio would appear to be playing fine in Traktor or on YouTube but outputs were dead. Eta - I remember some of the keys weren't mapped correctly either, shift and 8 would give you a question mark instead of an asterisk, for example. All fine after the fresh install.
