No Sound - Hardware & Software

So, for some reason I'm not getting any audio at all. Tried with the adapter, without, three different headsets in the different jacks, nothing. It's showing that the PC recognizes sound is playing, but nothing's coming out. Whenever a lot of audio's supposed to be playing there'll be popping, and there's the usual background feedback, but nothing else. I think it might be the card, but I honestly don't know shit. Any ideas?

Could you post a screenshot of your Sound settings in Windows? You can get to it by right-clicking your speaker icon on the taskbar. It should look like the image below: [IMG]https://az545065.vo.msecnd.net/skype-faq-media/faq_content/skype/images/faqs/fa10330/ensoundscreen.png[/IMG]

Try re installing the sound drivers and see what happens.

Do you have a dedicated soundcard, or do you connect the cables directly into the motherboard? What motherboard/soundcard do you have? If you're unsure about the motherboard, use Speccy: [url]https://www.piriform.com/speccy[/url]

With 'cables' I meant as in the cables from your speakers/headset, where do you plug those in? [editline]8th December 2014[/editline] Download and install the 'Audio' drivers from this page: [url]http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4N72E/HelpDesk_Download/[/url]

I tried the back though but it still doesn't work. Downloaded driver, nothing unfortunately.
