[SOLVED] Audi suddenly stopped working.

[Fredrik_7]

So I just got done cleaning my PC, compressed air, each component on their own, like i've done 100 times before. After assembly I cant connect speakers to the back nor use headphones in the audio jack on the case.

Any suggestions? Ive checked and replugged the cables.

What motherboard do you have? Im assuming you dont have a separate sound card?

 

[Fredrik_7]

I dont, I have a p8z77-v pro so its a quite old one.

Id suggest running through this Microsoft guide to help eliminate software issues first - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4026994/windows-10-fix-sound-problems

Just double check you havent plugged anything in incorrectly on the motherboard.

A jumper or fan socket plugged into an audio headers may cause a short for onboard sound hardware

I've double checked all the cables. Im going through the steps but half of them I cant do because the speakers doesnt even show up, just says they are unplugged.

Only thing I feel it can be is that I've shorted or fried a part of the MB? Would buying a cheap sound card fix that?

If that is the case then yes, alternatively you could try getting soemthing like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NMXY2MO/ref=asc_df_B00NMXY2MO57936539/?tag=googshopuk-21&creative=22146&creativeASIN=B00NMXY2MO&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310829205597&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=478338277209075495&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045367&hvtargid=pla-440145084406
