Ever since I installed an SSD and fixed my monitor, all forms of audio stopped working in my computer except for bluetooth devices. I’ve tried everything you can find with searching “site:reddit.com” but I’ve found nothing helpful. Please help, I’ll try to answer any questions for more information.
Maybe you fried the audio card accidentally while replacing the SSD?
Does HDMI audio out work? Or a USB soundcard?
HDMI output works (tested on a monitor with one) but I don’t have a soundcard to test it.
Are you using the front panel audio? Could those plugs have been dislodged when you did the SSD?
If not, my money is on fried audio card. Buy a replacement usb soundcard :(
My speakers seem to work now, after installing Realtek’s software, and disabling front panel detection. The problem is not solved though because my headset still doesn’t work. Sigh.
Sounds like you might have shorted out the analog portion while working inside your case. You mentioned other digital methods (like HDMI) work. If you have a connector to a front jack, reversing the pins can fry the audio (been there done that). It’s also possible something accidentally touched and shorted it out.
Most likely you’re gonna end up having to get a USB or other audio card.
Boot a Linux cd and try it in that, rule our software first.
