I'm not at all knowledgeble on PC hardware and software, so please try to structure your answer as simply as possible.
I had a new motherboard installed into my PC by a friend and didn't boot it up for approx. 6 months, and now suddenly the audio doesn't work in my headphones, though it does work on the monitor's built-in speakers. I've tried updating the drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and checking the default outputs, but nothing seems to work. Could someone please provide a list of solutions before I take my PC to a hardware store?
