Hi,
I've just finished rebuilding my PC, (ASUS P5N32E-SLI mobo, Audigy-2 card and ASUS EN8600GT silent graphics card, 2Gb RAM/Crucial) only to find that the sound card is absolutely 'sound-free'. nada. No sound. Not through the speakers (logitech Z-650's), and not through the headphones.
I read online that sometimes the mobo conflicts with the sound card
a) anyone has heard similar?
b) What can be done to trouble shoot a sound-card, and/or determine where the problem lies.
Please forgive a certain 'vagueness' here as i am not an uber-tekkie. I have tried moving the sound-card to another slot, downloading up to date drivers for all hardware and re-installed the OS (Win XP), i have also looked for BIOS settings to twiddle, and not found anything that is obvious to do with sound cards(HD audio on/off was all I cd find)
I am not sure if there is any on-board sound capability on the mobo, or if there are any IRQ conflicts (apparently a cause of some hardwares not getting along / not working - is this true?)
Please help (3000+ sound files waiting to be played)
