Audio jacks not working!!!

[ANNOYING ORANGE]

Hi

so i was connected my bass amplifier (from headphone output) to the line in and i recorded the sound with soundbooth. when i played it back it was kind of skipping so i changed the quality to a higher hz and i recorded and it sounded right. when i went to move my amplifier a bit, because cables were all over the place, strange noises started comming out of the speaker. i unplugged the amplifier and restarted the computer and the sound and the realtek icon were gone . so i reinstalled the drivers and the icon was back, but the computer wasnt detecting when i plugged in my speakers or headphones. so i dugg deeper and checked my BIOS and everything was ok. i then went and uninstalled every driver related to sound with device manager and driver sweeper and reinstalled everything in safe mode. i even tried windows recovery and it still didnt work

im wondering now do i have to buy a soundcard or is there something else i can try?

NOTE: there aren't any yellow triangles in device manager and the realtek hd audio says that the device is working properly

my specs:
OS:win 7 ultimate
Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 UD2 (2.1) my sound card was integrated
CPU:Intel core 2 duo E6400
GPU:Sapphire radeon hd 4890 vapor-x 1gb
BIOS:F8

sounds like a dead duck to me...i had the same problem with my IBM onboard soundcard. It died out after a while...but the bottom line was that the card wouldn't function properly and the audio would go but come back after a while.
