No sound from speakers but audio bars still moving.

[KingHenry]

I recently changed my motherboard, reinstalled windows and all my drivers. I went to watch a Youtube video when I noticed no sound was playing. I tried to play a video file saved on my PC, still no sound. I tried an mp3 and still no sound. The green bar on the sound icon in the tray moves when i play something, but i just cant output anything.

Motherboard: Asus A88XM-PLUS
Audio: Realtek ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC *4

I've spent hours reading all over the internet and have done the usual troubleshooting:
- System restore
- Driver updating (from disk as well as site)
- Trying different audio sockets
- System speaker levels are full
- Used Microsoft Fix it Audio Playback which found no issues
- Run the audio troubleshooter from Control Panel, no issues found

Can someone please help me find a fix for this?

are your speakers powered and turned on? 😀
other than that - i'd check the default playback device - if it is set to speakers /and not headphones, optical, etc.../

Yes, my speakers are powered and turned on and yes the default the playback device is set as my speakers.
I wish the solution was that simple. 🙁

I'm surprised I got no help. I found out that I hadn't installed my motherboard properly. I didn't put any stand offs in and my I/o shield was placed in incorrectly so I had to take my mobo put everything back in. Once I did that I had sound through my speakers!!!! 😀
