Hope this is the right section for this…
So I assembled my Sig system and running Win7. I connected the case front AC97 (HD wasn't long enough) plug to the motherboard.
I move the system over to where it will actually be used, connect speakers, power up hear the windows sound. Played some online videos and sound worked fine.
Next day I figure I give the case front audio connection a go, I've always used rear because of my old soundcard (Audigy 2 ZS) and I never ever used integrated sound before. I Attach headphones an fire up the system, I hear what I believe to be electronic noise. I momentarily power up speakers and hear the same thing. I figured a little odd (really don't know as I've never used integrated audio), but windows booted (honestly now can't remember if windows sound played or not). With my mind focused wanting to install some programs and get a quick temp reading as my case is under my desk I gave no further thought to sound, though I had thought I heard that thud sound when you make an improper click.
At some point (maybe next day) I noticed the "x" next to the taskbar speaker icon. Sure enough I had no sound. Hovering the mouse over the icon it says "no speakers or headphones plugged in"
Right clicking on the sound icon I select playback devices, the 4 items listed all have (HDMI) next to them; there is nothing under the recording tab
I had only installed a few programs.., MSoffice, Photoimpact, Adobe Reader and let windows do anu additional updates.
I researched the problem and have followed various advice from threads, I've also reinstalled Win7 several times already to no avail.
I also went into the bios to confirm that the Audio was enable and saw that the sound was set to HD. I later came across a snippet of a post online mentioning that I may have fried something having HD set while using the AC97 plug, any thoughts on that?
I had wanted to give integrated audio a go and while making use of the case front ports, but if I have to install my soundcard then I'll go that route. I've really no desire to rma the board if its bad. Already confirmed on one of the OS installs that the Audigy works
So am I screwed? Any chance I didn't fry integrated audio? Anyone else had/have the same "no speakers or headphones plugged in" issue and how was it resolved?
I'm hoping this is a driver issue, maybe i missed something
