Hello guys, I am hoping you can help me with this bizzare issue.
I reformatted my computer and Windows 10 got all the drivers perfectly, everything updated very well. However, I now suspect that on my custom built computer, which will come to 4 years of age in April, the onboard, motherboard sound card has died. Here's why.
1. I plugged in the Audio jack, one side to the PC other side to the headphones are (Sony £200 ones, no sound whatsoever.
2. I clicked on my headphones to make them the default to play sound from them nothing whatsoever.
3. I updated the audio drivers, still there was absolutely nothing, until I used Windows Media Player. To get sound out of my headphones now, I have to disable sound from the NVIDIA graphics controller, which manages the HDMI Audio.
4. The big gripe is as soon as I turn on TV sound now, it cannot recognise what is the default device and no sound plays through headphones, manually disabling the sound shouldn't be something I have to do.
Can you please tell me are these reasonable failures to have at this point, bearing in mind that my computer is coming to 4 years?
This is such a weird issue, and I don't have much money if my motherboard conks out. Please Help?
Thank you!
