Nforce 3 dfi lanparty motherboard around a friends..

They moved the computer and used a wrong power cable in the computer a smaller amped one then the original correct power cable.

But what is happening is that the onboard sound has stopped working and some graphics errors (screen goes black) I tried updating drivers and changing some bios settings and I have got the graphics to be stable now but I can not get any sound.

- No device errors in the device manager
- When you play sound and music you can see the bars in the nforce volume control going
- You can record sound and see it in the wave form of the windows sound recorder
- There is no sound from the other ports of you turn on 5.1
- I can get using one of their headsets a faint sound that is very garbled
- I checked the sound pins on the motherboard and they are correct

Anyone with any ideas?
I think the wrong power cable may have tripped the motherboard a bit, I got some errors in the bios with all the text being wrong but I flashed it with the current version and think I corrected any errors there and in the hardrive.
So is the sound chip been scrambled you think or could it be something else?

A smaller amped power cable will have dont jack squat to the mobo. if anything it would of been safer to use the smaller amped one than the original one!

probaly bumped it whilst moving and lossened somthin.

Looked all over and cant see anything being knocked

smaller amped cable does nowt. Current isnt pumped into a system, its drawn (it will draw what it needs)

Providing the cable didnt melt or the fuse didnt blow, then I dont see how itd be an issue.

Probably wrenched the headphone cable in the socket or something. Broken the jack rather than the motherboard.

Yeah, probably Stupidity+"Blame Something Else" trick. Or the speakers are unplugged.

Charge £150 +parts.

Well the case connections on mobo were bent so maybe the jack was pulled but it looks fine but maybe the inside.
I think I will say as long as nothing else goes wrong and the computer stays stable like it wasnt Ill get them a soundcard

Was gonna suggest you try a cheapo soundcard.
