[SOLVED] Windows 10 No audio, only static

[duog]

Hello,

I recently built my PC as spec'd below. I had been using a 3.5mm audio speaker setup and it was working fine until I turned on the PC today. Now I just get static and no audio.

The speakers plugged into my laptop work perfect.

I have tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling, I have tried uninstalling windows and reinstalling.

I have no idea where to go from here.

Do you have the audio output set correctly? If so, the audio device may be malfuncioning. Try power cycling, by turning off psu and holding power button for at least 30 seconds.

Did you install drivers through the device manager, or download through the manufacturer website?

Audio is set correctly, I've power cycled the system as you said powering it off from the PSU and holding the button.

I have tried both, from ASrock, windows update, and from realteks website. None of which seem to change anything.

The speakers are silent, as soon as you pull up spotify or youtube or anything with audio it just starts playing low static.

Is the audio built-in or sound card? I would contact the manufacturer if it is still under warranty. Try any way to produce sound from PC that is possible beforehand, like going into system sounds and playing test sounds (which are a short jingle).

Also, try other 3.5mm jacks and sound systems to see if it is a strange interaction.

It's built in audio, definitely still under warranty. Thanks so much for the help it looks like reaching out to the manufacturer is the next step. I have tried EVERYTHING to make it make any kind of sound. All I can get is pops and static...

again, thanks!

It looks like a USB headset will work. The 3.5 on the motherboard, and the 3.5 on the case do not work. I'll have to find another 3.5mm speaker to try out maybe...
