No audio with GIGABYTE 965P-DQ6

[frenchie29]

I used to have audio fine, but just out of the blue I cannot get anything out. I did all the troubleshooting possible. What I did last is I re-installed the realtek 7.1 surround audio driver but still nothing.

Anybody knows what it could be?

My specs are in my sig

Thanks

most of the time the sound in windows is muted or the realtek sound is disabled in device manager... othe then that you may have a bad sound chip and need to go with a PCI sound card

Nothing is muted

Double check in the BIOS and make sure the onboard audio is enabled. Can you get headphones to work on just the line-out connection?

It's definately the realtek crd I tried my external sound card Edirol FA-66 and everything is fine.

if you recently added that sound card, many times the bios will automatically recognize a PCI sound card and disable onboard sound... then if you took it out, the bios may have it still disabled... that would be the next step I would suggest... otherwise it may be the sound chip gone bad. I have had issues with my OB sound on my DS3 so I just completely disabled it in the bios.

Where is the audio setup in the Bios??

[gvblake22]

It is called "Azalia Codec" located under the "Integrated Peripherals" menu; it should be set to "Auto" if you want to use onboard sound and disabled if you are using an add-on PCI sound card.

Yes I checked in the BIOS and it's on "auto". What could I do next?

Can you get any sound with headphones plugged into the green line-out jack?
Try going into Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove any drivers that have anything to do with audio of some kind, restart the computer and try reinstalling the latest drivers from the driver CD that came with your motherboard or from Gigabyte's website.
