sound card suddenly silent
Hello everyone,
The problem: I was viewing a video clip in the wmv format, yesterday. Near the end of the eighteen minute clip, the sound suddenly died. My first suspects were the speakers but they are fine. I checked them with another pc. I also checked the problem-pc with some working head-phones. No luck. I checked *all* the volume settings. I have unistalled the drivers, restarted the pc, reinstalled the drivers. Rolled back to the default drivers, checked all the settings in the device driver, no conflicts, everything fine there. Then i plugged in a mike and ran sound recorder. No luck there either. It didn't register any of my voice input. I downloaded latest sound drivers, still nothing. Finally, i got out my usb and installed on it Damn Small Linux, a variant of Knoppix and booted from there, it detected the card fine. I ran an mp3 in xmms, still nothing. Now here is what's bothering me, the differnt players that i have tried in windows and linux, do not complain at all! They think everything is fine but i am getting no sound. I disabled the onboard sound card from bios and now the media players start complaining. What could be wrong here? How can i pinpoint the problem? TIA... The Specs: Softwa Windows xp Professional, sp2 with all the latest patches drivers and everything. Hardwa Processor: Intel Celeron-D 2.4 Ghz Motherboard: MSI P4MAM-V (http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p...M-V&class=3Dmb) Audio: AC'97 link controller integrated in VIA=AE VT8235 VIA VT1616 6-channel S/W audio codec. |
