Hey,
im having trouble getting my computer to pick up my speakers or headphones. I will give some history into my computer and what not, to see if it helps.
Purchased in 2009, Specs are
MB Name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.EG31M-S2
BIOS version: EG31M-S2 FB
CPU Name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
Memory information: 2,097,151 KB RAM
GPU: 9800 Geforce
my hardrive crashed the other day, so i had to get a new one. So i did that, then i ran into another problem, of my computer turning off after 10-15sec, i took it into a shop, and they said that the mobo fan broke for some reason and was resting on my cpu, causing it to turn off.
Anyways, so i re installed windows and all the drivers, installed wow and noticed that the sound was not working. So i played a mp3 audio file to see if it was just wow. It didn't work, so i went to my audio manager and its telling me i have no audio device connected.
I thought maybe my driver did not work, so i re-installed it, still nothing. (Realtec High Definition audio Driver).
I went to device manager, and next to my PCI device is a yellow question mark, and i remember reading somewhere that thats your mobo sound card thing. so im guessing that could be the issue? i went to update it, it asked for a cd, i out my mobo cd in, and nothing happened.
Im not even sure if im on the right track. Please help
