Did i kill my sound?

[JohnB299]

I recently tried to set memory timings of 5-2-2-2 @ 200 fsb on my A7N8X DLX, and i've heard that 5-2-2-2 can cause corruption over 166 fsb. When i tried it my computer made reaaaly wierd noises on the bootup. Now I have no sound in windows at all - even after reinstalling the mobo drivers.
If i try to open the Nvidia sound utility it says "Failed to initialize the NIVIDA audio driver! Please install and try again" ? Any help would be appreciated!
Oh i am using the built in sound ports.

perhaps you have, if you are certain that the drivers and bios settings are all correct. and that the problem only happened after the oc. maybe if you have a spare hdisk, try install a fresh os on it and install all the drivers. if that still dosnt work , then you've probably fried the sound chip...

would installing a pci sound card fix this?

Try uninstalling all the sound devices you can under the device manager in the control panel-system. Then reinstall your sound driver. I found on my albatron that the modem sound device was causing my sound to fail when overclocking, so I disabled it.

thanks, that fixed the problem It must have been one of those devices that was causing the problem.
