after disassembling & reassembling part of my computer, onboard sound doesn't work?

I was having unrelated issues with my video card. for the time being, i swapped to integrated graphics.

after i took the card out and reassembled everything, i was having sound issues.

in windows it initially only listed digital audio s/pdif, not the standard high definition audio device that is normally there when my headset/etc is plugged in.

i've tried reinstalling the drivers & restarting and there was no change. additionally, FYI, this refers to the back audio jacks, not the front ones, so the pin getting disconnected by accident from the MB shouldn't be an issue as far as i know..

i looked around in windows device manager and it doesn't appear to be a driver issue, everything is normal there.

after replugging the jacks in back and forth maybe ~5 times, it now detects the headset (registered as "speakers" in windows) but i still get no sound coming out...

Try un installing the audio drives completely and then re installing with the newest on the mother board manufacturers website

Maybe the default got switched have you went into contol panel and reset the audio defaults and tested them there. I know it sounds dumb but its easy to look.

the default is correctly set. when playing something with volume, it now shows the device receiving sound but nothing is heard. (and i checked the headset isn't muted, of course)
