Sound not working

LawIiet · Jul 10, 2016

My sound all of a sudden stopped working for some reason. I've reinstalled GPU drivers/sound drivers and Windows. Realtek HD audio is updated I even dismantled my PC and ran it without front panel being connected. Both the audio jacks in the front and on the mobo won't give off sound. I reinstalled the APU drivers and tried to play sound through the HDMI port to my TV and it still won't work. I tried to install my GPU And connect an HDMI port to my gpu but theres still no sound. Only a fairly annoying crackling noise in a medium volume with earbuds on. I figure its the motherboard but i don't have the time to RMA so can I just get a sound card or one of those USB to audio adapters to get by? Also Whenever I plug in a cable to the audio jack Realtek keeps saying "You plugged a device" "You unplugged a device" even though I don't touch the cable. So it's definatly the mobo.

You can use a sound card (internal or external) or one of the cheap adapters if you don't care too much about the sound quality. The cheap adapters have pretty poor sound quality.

So getting a soundcard or those usb adapters will work?

LawIiet :

Yes. I often use those USB adapters for laptop repairs where it isn't worth replacing the motherboard or soundcard. The jacks fail or short because heaphones are frequently plugged/unplugged.
