I plugged my guitar amp headphone out into the mic in on the back of the motherboard (GA-P35C-DS3R), and for some reason it outputted the sound live from my guitar to my pc speakers through the motherboard. This was not what I was supposing it to do, but it did anyway, albeit very distortidly.

I removed the guitar audio source, and my PC speakers made a buzzing noise when connected to my PC. Now the PC sound output/input has completly stopped working and the drivers are saying nothing is plugged in.

I've checked the speakers and they work with my MP3 Player so it's definatly not those, could I have blown the port?
 
On board only has Mic in I think.

hmm, so if I get my hands on a cheap sound card it should sort it? or will it have mashed the whole board?
 
Don't see why the board should be knackered. Funny, my nForce 4 board has a line in, don't see why yours wouldn't. Go for an Xtreme Music. :) (if they still make them)
 
I only have £40 max.

So it's between the Extreme Audio PCI and PCI-E, any preferences?
I've heard Creative's vistax64 drivers are carp?

and is there anyway I can check if it is knackered before I splash out all this cash?

cheers.

edit: and my audio in/outs look like this: (which is the line in?)

I think Xtreme Audio is only EAX 4.0, since it's made with Audigy tech instead of real X-Fi tech. Much better than onboard. go for PCI, I hear the drivers for PCI-E are terrible.
