Hello everyone,
So I have had the following setup now:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k 3.4 GHz Ivy Bridge
Motherboard: Asus p8z77-v pro
Graphics Card: ASUS HD7870-DC2-2GD5
RAM: 2 sticks of 8 GB DDR3
256 GB Toshiba Pro SSD and 2.0 TB WD Caviar Green HDD
CoolerMaster HAF 912 case
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA-650
LG Blu-ray writer
Windows 7 Installed
The computer will not output sound through the analog rear lime green line out or the front audio output. I was previously using it just fine but then had to move the computer for a few months and was using it on a TV with HDMI out through the graphics card and getting my audio that way.
Then when I go back to my original setup, I get no sound. I tried my speakers and a couple pairs of headphones to no avail. When I look at playback devices in the sound panel, the Realtek High Definition Audio says "not plugged in" no matter what I do. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and played around with settings I saw around the message boards. I looked around the BIOS but didn't see any settings that pertained to this. I am on the most current version of BIOS. I booted into a live ubuntu setup and no sound there either, but I don't really know what I'm doing in Linux. Is there anything else I could try? Or could it be a problem with the board?
I changed out the SSD (cloned old to new), RAM, and added the optical drive in the time I wasn't using the analog output. I ground myself and everything but it's possible something could have shorted the sound board or damaged one of the components inside?
I hope I am clear enough. Please let me know if you have any ideas and I'll give them a shot. I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks!
