I built my own pc recently, and everything was workign fine, except for the sound. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers about 5 times, to no avail. I bought a monitor with a headphone jack, however, which hooked up to my graphics card with an hdmi connection, and the audio jack on the monitor gave me sound. I want a microphone jack for reasons, however, so I bought a sound card. Unfortunately the sound card does not output any sound either. It is not a driver problem and it is set as the default device. Please just give me some insight.
no sound please help

no problem, hoping i can help.
Realtek digital output is optical, there would be a small square like this;
Couldn't find a better picture of one but that's the optical/SPDIF plug to the left
Speakers in audio playback is the analog portion of the motherboard using the colored audio jacks
In the Xonar audio software, uncheck anything relating to SPDIF as this is digital if using audio jacks.
Not sure if that interface has been updated but need to select analog if you can. If the optical isnt connected you might not get the option anyway to toggle but good luck.

Case:Corsair obsidian 750d
Mobo: Asus m5a97 LE R2.0
OS: Win 7 64x
Headphones: Koss
The audio connections im not sure about but i am plugging my headphones into a Xonar DGX sound card. I have tried all of the jacks with no results except for a popping sound when entering into one of them, but no actual sound still.

Thanks.
Should be getting sound. Might be something simple hopefully.
Sound cards/motherboard audio follow the same color code just as reference.
So your headphones are working through the monitor which is audio from the graphics card.
In Windows 7 audio/playback devices, can you list what you have in there please?
I'm assuming there would be:
graphics card (nvidia or amd high definition)
speakers (motherboard audio)
Xonar DGX
Connecting to the green audio jack (sorry about being obvious but the 2 rings on the audio pin is inserted) to the motherboard (set speakers as default) and sound card (set Xonar to default) so the source you want has a green tick.
Thats the green tick. You've probably tried all this so we'll see.

Yeah i have tried this but as for the audio devices here iw hat I have:
-Asus Vs228 high def. audio device (this is the monitor which is set to default atm so i can have sound right now)
-Speakers
-S/PDIF Pass-through device (sound card)
-realtek digital output (my onboard sound which did not work either)
extra note: I set the speakers or the s/pdif pass through device as default and then i test sound and it shows little green bars as if sound is passing through, but there is no sound. And also thanks a ton for trying

Which green audio jack? Sounds like you just enabled all and one of them was the right one ;P need to find out which is which. Hopefully my post above will help you understand whats what.
Also thered be an option to enable mic, either through Xonar if using Asus or Realtek audio manager if using motherboard. Mic is the pink jack.
If you want to keep your motherboard Realtek drivers upto date, direct from Realtek is better.

SPDIF out is unchecked, but for analog out I have 2 speakers not headphone. Also I am a little confused should I have speakers set for default?

Cheers, glad to help some. Yea just play around with settings, see how you go. Check the audio volume as Windows 7 has a main volume and then applications. Main volume will influence all but can adjust the others manually with the slider.
Right click speaker icon in system tray if you have it there (next to time) and open volume mixer.
