I just built my first ever gaming PC... Not yet fully built though. Couldn't find my GPU anywhere locally, well I did find it but due to holidays the store was closed by the time I made I got there.
Set Up:
Intel Core i5 4670k
MSI Z87-G43 mobo
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 @ 1.6GHz
2TB WD HDD
DVD/CD Reader/Writer
Windows 8.1 OS
So after going through the whole pain in the neck build and having my computer not turn on initially(forgot one power connection) and then figuring out how to install WIndows 8.1 I have yet another problem!
I cannot receive sound. My mobo is connected via HDMI connection and the speaker icon shows a red x. Whenever i click it or bring up Volume Control I see that non of the peripherals are sending sound(Playback). It says that HDMI is not plugged in. What am I missing? Do I need a sound card to play sound?
