I've lost my sound and can't get it back!

Post by jaybird »

I have been using a Chaintek AV710 for about six months with no problems. Last night I booted up my PC (dual PIII's, 1 gig ram, Chaintek AV710, PNY FX5500 dual monitor, multiple optical drives, 2 HDD, one for dual OS'S, one for video capture, WIN2K Pro, SP4) and no sound!

I have a DTT2500 that the AV710 feeds, when I did a speaker check, they were working, goto system/hardware, all drivers installed and card "working", opened "volume control", nothing muted, opened "CD Player", it indicates CD is in correct drive and is playing!

Still no sound?

Should I simpley uninstall/re-install all audio hardware and drivers? What am I missing?

Ideas please!

regards,

Jay, did you figure this out?

My experience is when something weird like this happens I do shutdown and 2 minute cold boot(power off 2 minutes) and see if that fixes it.
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.
