New Sound Card is in, sound restored. Must have been the on-board adapter. Thanks again all!

Thanks for all the help/advice both to scout_03 and COLGeek. I blew my last PSU so I wouldn't be surprised if the surge fried the adaptor. I think you're right, buying a sound card is the next step. I've ruled out all driver/setting issues. I'll let you know if that does the trick.

Default is the Realtek HD audio/speakers. I made the switches in advance mode as suggested, no change.

Tried that. Still nothing. I can hear static/distortion when I plug the speakers in, but no output.

Actually, I guess since both the front and back panel don't work, it isn't just the MOBO internal sound right? The fishy thing for me is the fact that when I play a sound, the volume control picks up a signal. Usually when I have a sound issue, there is no signal. I'm at a loss.

and yes that's the version I currently have loaded.

I tried the ASUS driver download, and the one from realtek. I just did the switch to AC '97 and no dice. I think the onboard sound might just be fried. SHould I invest in a soundcard?

My MOBO does have both HD and AC 'Mode, and the case has plugs for both. HD is plugged in and enabled. I'll try plugging in the AC'97 and enabling that option in BIOS. Try anything at this point.

Yeah I've done the microsoft fix its. No issues detected

all connections are good. Realtek control panel recognizes a connection on both back and front panels. I'm sensing an issue with my BIOS? But I'm not an expert enough on BIOS configs to know for sure. I do know that the audio is enabled in BIOS.

yep. Tried that, no dice.

Done that twice already. Downloaded driver form the Realtek site as well as ASUS site for the motherboard.

I've run the test and no sound correct. The system recognizes the speakers, and in volume control, I am getting a signal, indicating that sound is being recognized, but none comes out.

I can't post a picture, but I'm pretty confident all settings are normal and as should be, at least as they were before the problem started. Nothing is muted

Everything I'm supposed to. Speakers and digital output. The green icon in the panel display show I'm plugged in.
