M.2 ssd problem and no sound win 10

buckiebull66 · 26 Mar 2016 at 10:39

yesterday i installed a samsung 950 pro M.2 ssd 512gb on my motherboard while my other drives were still connected using window 7 pro

primary:Crucial M4 128gb ssd
slave: WD blue 500g

I then booted into windows and a pci error came up and no sound coming from my pc, but if i put the speaker cable into the front headphone socket i get some sound a bit muffled almost like someone was holding a pillow over it lol
the m.2 drive wasnt seen in windows but is in the bios i then tried a system restore but that didn't work so i then upgraded to windows 10 to see if that would solve my sound problem but alas no!
any ideas guys?

check your internal connections, you might of knocked something when you installed your m2.

Reseat all your cards and header cables.

I think ive tried everything now i even went as far as to reset the cmos battery to see if that would help!
I searched google seams to be similar problems with sound on the Asus skylake boards 1
I've now contacted Asus regarding the problem

Hi guys it was a Sound fault on the motherboard and i got it replaced only thing to do now is put it all back together!
Do i need to contact Microsoft and tell them about my change of motherboard or should i be fine as it's the same model?

After reinstalling win10 pro which was upgraded from win7 pro i had to get it activated from micosoft which ment me phoning them up after a half hour of them tinkering through remote access they gave me a new licence very kind of them too!
