sound card problem

[Twizo]

i have a custom made pc for about a year or 2

the sound card i have is

SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio[b4000]

it stoped workin.. i re installed the drivers and nothing.. the pc detects the card that its there like everythings normal but no sound happens i test my speakers and they work fine once pluged to another pc.. i put headfoneso n the back of pc n no sound..what can it be? hardware problems>??

this works sometimes..

open up the tower
spray the inside with some dustoff
unscrew/pull the soundcard out, wait a few minutes, put it right back in.. make sure its in good.. and boot back up.. see what happens then..

idk why but in towers, ive had the same problems with HDDS and roms

is mute unchecked? lol

when you reinstalled the hardware drive did everything go okay?
is the hardware present when you check device manager?

[Twizo]

Its present its not muted lol but ima try unscrewing it n puttin it back to see what happens

so what happened? need another card? i have one layin around i'll ship to you i'm not selling it, i'll let you have it =)

yeah if the unscrewing didnt work then get another soundcard you could have a discrepancy on the sound card's board and prolly scratch a connector

if you installed the drivers with the card installed it will not work.....installed them restart, shutdown, install the card and power on, it will detected and install the drivers by itself......if you got vista in there you will need to run compatiblity mode if the card aint supported by vista....

i got windows xp pro... i just took it out and put back in ... pc detects it like its normal its installed.. drivers are installed... no sound comes out..
fucking weird.
