I was watching an AVI file from my camera last night and doing some work with some sound files later - all was fine. Woke this morning to resume the work, and the sound is completely gone on my system. I've been playing around for a few hours, and can't track down the issue. I did the following -
- Checked that everything was plugged in
- Took my Audigy Sound card out, reseated it, then moved it to another vacant slot
- Tried switching to the Mobo sound outlet
- Tried using an old Creative Labs Sound card
Checked every program I used last night of to see if I somehow turned the volume down or muted it
None of this unearthed the problem. Interestingly, I also started up Audacity to record sound then played a few sound files, as well as some randomly selected clips on Youtube, and nothing registered on the program. It's normally set up on 'what you hear' , so whether it's onboard sound or online, it should have shown up on Audacity.
Either something on board has messed with the volume settings in a way that I can't find, or perhaps my motherboard is having issues.
Anyone have a clue what could be going on?
Thanks
