Just go and download Realtek HD audio Drivers, that should Fix it

You click i accept then click next, then a list should show up. Download the one for your type of windows, install then restart the computer. See if it works.

is your soundcard built into the motherboard or are u using one pluged into the motherboard?
you can buy a usb sound card too, for like $50.

yes you just need a 1/4 inch converter.

You should go to you local music store, or electronic store they should have the conveter and the sound card.

Here is a card you might like

Hello,

When was the last time it worked? Was there any hardware/software change since then?

This might be a driver issue, go to your "device manager" to see if you can see the sound card. You can also check to see if you have the chipset enabled from your BIOS if no card was detected in your "device manager".

Cheers,

100%, you just have to install the drivers, then selcet it as your audio card of choice from the audio settings in the control panel.
