I have a mini-jack extension cable running from the back (So i can connect my headphones). It all started when while I was unplugging my headphones, I touched the extension. I got short of an electric shock from it. I don't think this is supposed to happen. My thought is that it happened because of a static charge. As soon as I touched it, the audio has stopped working on my pc.
In the bottom right there is the speaker icon with a red X on the bottom right. When I click it the troubleshooting window opens. Then, it says that I have no connected audio devices, when I have my speakers on the back ports and my headphones on the front panel. Drivers (Realtek HD Audio) is installed (checked that a lot of times, also deleted and re-installed them, latest version, always has been working)
I am using the built-in audio card of my motherboard. I can't make windows recognise any audio devices. Front panel audio not working too. Tried all the classic solutions (Rebooting, moving the cables, changing ports, checked the BIOS, disabling and re-enabling speakers and windows troubleshooting). Is it possible that static electricity ruined my mobo's audio chip?
Specs:
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 @2.13GHz
GIGABYTE G41MT-D3V (Mobo)
