ASRock z77 Pro3, installed audio drivers, still no sound, just static

[Basho-1359617]

I am using the onboard audio devices on the ASRock z77 pro3 motherboard.

I have used 3 different speakers and 2 headphones, including a brand new pair that works on other devices as I tested them before and after using them on my built pc, and all give a faint static sound.


My system is composed of

motherboard: ASRock z77 pro3
cpu: intel core i3 3220
psu: thermaltake 430w
os: windows 7

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

Check if it's showing up in Device Manager (Realtek High Definition Audio).

That does show up under 'Sound, video and game controllers'
(along with AMD High Definition Audio Device & InTel Display Audio)

Hmm, assuming it's not reporting any problems in there, I don't have many clever suggestions other than checking the connection if you're using front panel audio.

no front panel here, thanks for trying though.

Ive never had an audio problem like this before, and if anyone else has anything they can suggest for me, please do. Thanks in advance!
