I started my computer 2 days ago, and it was working fine. I've experienced problems in the past, but never anything like this. I don't hear any sound in my PC anymore. I uninstalled the drivers a while ago, because I thought it might be them, as this is a new pc that I just built, and I can't get any other drivers to work. My sound card is an integrated card in a Pegatron AAHD2-HY, and I really need help with this. Please suggest anything you can. Thank you.

Forgot to mention some things: It displays that I have no audio device plugged in, and the only audio device is Realtek HDMI Output.
 
Open up the case and check that you have the audio cable connected to the motherboard. They occasionally come loose on new builds.

Secondly, what audio device are you using? USB or standard?

And finally, which driver are you downloading? Make sure it's the HD Audio Realtek Driver, and also ensure you've downloaded the drivers for each sound device you connect. If you're still encountering issues, you could have a faulty soundcard.
 


The audio cable is secure in the motherboard, it's a standard audio device, and I believe I have downloaded the proper driver, but I can't be sure. Just a second ago I got the sound to work in the rear jack but it quickly stopped working. It seems my microphone has been working fine all this time, and it's just my headphones.
 
I had an audio issue while upgrading my computer a few months ago. It was one of the most complicated driver procedures I've ever gone through, it's a pain in the ass. But how I fixed it was going through the forums in google typing in my computer model + my problem, and eventually I found a sound pack/driver that was not included in the DELL website. I downloaded it and the audio began working.
So maybe it's a driver issue, if it's connected to the computer properly the computer should be able to read it and if it does not then the proper driver is not installed, especially with newer computers everything is plug in play so there should be no issue there.
 


I did find the proper drivers, but the bad thing is that my PC was on windows 8 when I first got it, but with all of the upgrades and previous hard drive failures, I'm on a 32 bit Windows 7. I tried to install it, but it wouldn't let me.
