First off let me say I'm not sure this is in the right thread, so if there's a better place for this please let me know and I'll post there.
So today I went to put another HDD into my computer, and as I was closing it all up and running checks to make sure I didn't mess up anything while poking around, I noticed my PC isn't producing any audio. I have a 3.5mm cable going to my home theater system I've used for around two years now, without problem. I checked to see if that cable was at fault and it isn't, I checked that the right sound device was the default, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, I tried the jack in the back (I've been using the one in the front), I even tried using a different HD audio part from another computer plugged into my motherboard and not even that worked.
After that I tried a USB headset, and a pair of 1/4" headphones into an audio interface for recording going into another USB port and they both work; it's just that 3.5mm jack, all of them. I thought I might've hit or bent the pins where the HD audio is connect while I was redoing the cable management, but I checked and the pins all look intact.
Is there anything I can try? What would be causing this? Am I going to have to get a new motherboard or is there an audio out that plugs in via USB that I can use instead? I'm using the MSI MS-7778 from an HP Pavilion p7-1240 desktop, I'll provide any other technical information if needed.
