Ok so backstory, this Gigabyte x470 Aurus gaming 7 i got a few months ago and after a few days it started to degrade, the audio stopped working and then it would just start crashing and then eventually not even turn on. I got it replaced under warranty and now i turn my PC on this morning and its audio isnt working.....i dont know whats happening, 2 days ago i updated the bios and it went fine and had it work for over a day with no issue, i have changed nothing and even ran an UBUNTU live cd and there was no audio on there either so its not windows, i tried different speakers too.

So does anyone know whats going on? i just dont know what to do and the idea of another RMA is pushing me to tears, i spent a lot on this to get something that worked, what is going on.
 
Can't really help you other than to suggest try buying a cheap sound card, only to avoid RMAing it.
The worry is this will start degrading like last time, first the audio went and then a few hours/days later more and more stopped and it became more and more unstable, no idea whats going on. I have a brand new Seasonic Platinum PSU so i doubt its that, everything is brand new......im lost
