I am using Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R onboard sound and Acoustic Energy Aego M's.

They worked fine until I tryed to use my speakers as an extra output for my guitar amp, they seemed to still work but make a buzzing noise, so i turned them on this morning buzzing has stopped but now they won't make any sound.

But I can make them make sound with my MP3 Player just not from the PC

MY headphones won't make a sound either.

this lead me to a driver issue.

It says that no speakers are plugged in, when they are.

I've tryed restoring windows to earlier points, but it didnt work.

Tryed reinstallling drivers, but it won't recognise any output device.

I've tryed a different cable but it just won't work.


I need this ASAP for my music coursework, so please any suggestions are welcome, thank you.
 
Not that it helps, but my 965P DS3 has decided the onbaord sound device no longer exists. One day it just vanished. No errors in device manager or anything, its just not there anymore.

Anyone know if its a Gigabyte issue?
 
ASIO4ALL is a universal ASIO driver for WDM audio. It attempts to find the kernel streaming interface of your audio device and adds an ASIO driver interface on top of it, using a variation of a technique dubbed "DirectKS".

Essentially it turns a normal rubbish driver with crappy letancy into something half decent - it will only work on 32bit apps under Vista 64bit. So if that works for you I recommend giving it a try.

Cheers,

Matt

what do you now use for sound then?

Well it's no solution by any means, but I'd get a livecd of Ubuntu and see if the sound works through that?

good idea,

Do you just burn the ISO onto a CD then boot from the CD drive?

How would I install drivers for the realtek audio?

cheers for the reply.
 
It's as simple as burning the ISO, I think the sound works automatically for realtek audio on the livecd, it doesn't require a driver installation :).
 
It doesn't work with Linux either, so that seems fairly conclusive it's a hardware fault.

Do I have the grounds to RMA the motherboard if I blew the port?
 
Bite the bullet & spend a few quid on a cheapo PCI soundcard from the OC shop.

Much less hassle - I've had onboard sound do this in the past with my Gigabyte mobo.

The weird thing is after a re-install, the on-board sound worked! :confused:
