I think this is a hardware problem, but thought I'd see if anyone has any bright ideas before I fish out for a new card.
I've got built in Realtek Azalea sound on my motherboard. Up until Saturday, it was working through both my Amplifier (via Line Out) and the Headphones (via the Headphones jack)
When I tried to listen to an MP3 yesterday, couldn't hear a sausage. No sound in games, watching videos or playing a wave file.
Checked all volume levels and they are set as they were before, muted and unmuted all for sanity.
Sound drivers are installed and OK in Device Manager (did reinstall just in case), you can also see the spectrum analyser dancing in Media Player when you play a video.
Usually when you plug the headphones in, you get a pop up from the Realtek Azalea tray application confirming this has happened, but now nothing.
The Microphone seems to work, as Sound Recorder will record a wave file, so if the sound circuit has gone, it only seems to be the outputs.
Any other ideas?
