Hi Everyone...
Let me start by saying that I am absolutely stumped, here's my story. The PC in question is a HP P6110Y desktop running windows 7 (32-bit). Everything was working fine, until I installed another video card in the unit. From that point on, my PC has yet to make a sound. My PC detects the sound card, has the right drivers for the sound card, displays a speaker in the taskbar but makes no sound.
I've literally tried everything I could think of....
- uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers
- disabled and enabled the on-board sound card
- tested the speakers
- verified the status in the device manager
- increased the volume in windows and on the speakers
- replaced the speakers
- connected to speakers into the headphone jack
- install a new sound card (this blew my mind as to how it didn't solve the problem)
- reinstalled windows 7 (in both 32 and 64 bit modes)
- removed the add video card
- checked all the audio wires connections on the motherboard
- ran dxdaig and everything is reported as ok
The system is now back to it's original configuration, using both the on-board sound and video. No new hardware was added except for a printer. It a fresh install so practically no software has been installed either.
Here is a link to the specs of my desktop.
Anyone have any ideas ????
