Hello,
My desktop computer's not giving off any sound or noise when I try to watch videos, play music, play games. I also tried speaking in my mic in Teamspeak 3 to my friends, but they said that nothing was coming out of my mic. It's weird because I checked the control panel and went into the "Sound" properties page, and it says the speakers are picking up noise when I play music since the green bars are going up and down in conjunction with the sound.
I checked if it was mute, checked to make sure the headset was plugged in the right ports and jacks. I also tested different earbuds on the desktop, still no sound. I tested my headset on my laptop and it worked fine, the sound and the mic came through on the laptop.
So then I figured something was wrong with the sound card, also note that I'm using the standard microsoft sound software. First I check the device manager and under "sound" it said "High Definition Audio Device". I checked it out and it says the device is working properly. I downloaded the most recent driver for my motherboard's sound system. Information for motherboard is here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131404
It mentions in there that the onboard audio chipset is VIA VT1828S, so I downloaded the recent driver according to that chipset, and yes I made sure it was 64 bit for windows 7. I downloaded it, restarted computer, but still no sound.
My friend used Google Chrome's desktop mode and controlled my desktop to see what was wrong. He couldn't figure it out either, and going into one of the guides here at Tom's hardware, my friend directed me to restart my computer and going into the BIOS utility page, got me to change the Audio options in there, and we tried testing the sound again, but no sound.
At this point, I've tried out all the basic stuff that's in my hands that I can do to try to fix my sound issue, but I don't know what's up. If there's anything that I haven't done that you guys can point out, please feel free to share, by now I'm thinking of taking it to IT department at school and having them check it out physically. Know what's up before I do anything? Any help is appreciated.
