Lack of sound

[silverfoxcc]

It is a generic type PC, i think it has arealtek sound card, ad when i go into the system that comes up

Anyway i have lost all audio

No sound on the HP flatscreen monitor

Check with headphones and no sound from the headphone jack on the front of the case
plug them into the headphone socket at rear still nothing

The card, apart from the 3.5mm sockets has 4 USB sockets as well

Could the card have breathed its last, or is there something simple ( like me) i might have overlooked?

Have you tried clicking where it says 'mixer' underneath the volume slider and make sure it has been turned all the way down?

Just checked. it is the output on the motherboard which is a gigabyte ( model not known), NOT a separate board.

OK, you should just be able to bung a cheap sound card in it then?
