So the HDD in my desktop crashed 2 weeks ago, and I got it back this past Sunday.
The drivers all appear operational, and the board recognizes when I plug things in- however, no sound goes through.
And yes I've re-installed the drivers. Many times.
I've tested all my headphones and speakers, all are working fine. The computer can output sound via Livestream, as well.
I have a few theories:
1) I accidentally damaged it when I knocked my motherboard loose earlier- I had been holding on to the area behind the sound ports, to hold the motherboard steady while I plugged things in and I likely wasn't grounded. (I should be glad i didn't fry something more important...)
2)Since I ended up with a 32 bit OS instead of the 64 bit I had before due to my dad not realizing that the copy of windows 7 he used was not the same as the one I used when building the rig. It's possible that the hardware just doesn't like the OS.
