[jordancard]

hi, im sorry for the horrible title but i need someone to look at this.
i recently installed a new graphics card and psu and everything works perfect but the default sound keeps changing; this makes it impossible to listen to anything.

the weirdest part is that there is no aux device plugged in. at all.
this is the link to video that i put up to show as it is quite hard to explain

any help is extremely welcome.

Hi!
So it all worked fine after you installed a new PSU and Graphics card?
Post some specs of your whole computer, and tell me if you still have the parts your replaced.

 

[jordancard]

yeah i have everything from the old stuff, right here is the system.
GTX 660ti msi twin frozr, 750 corsair psu, gigabyte ga-z68ap-d3, 8gb of pny 1333mhz, 1tb hard drive. the problem wasnt there until i installed the drivers for the graphics card so that might be the culprit? did you watch the video ?

 

[dragoonk]

Yes I watched the video. Have you tried rolling back the driver and installing it again?

 

[jordancard]

rolling back ? im guessing that means uninstall it and install a different driver, if so then yes i have but still no success

 

[dragoonk]

The sound driver then. Try that. Have you reinstalled windows after you installed the new hardware?

 

[jordancard]

i havnt reinstalled windows and have tried downloading the audio drivers off the gigabyte website but still no positive results

It can be a faulty conexión in the headphone output, or a faulty conexión in the headphone!

 

[jordancard]

well the headphones only work in one ear now so they are buggered but i have tried some other head phones in the both ports and it was still not working, the thing is that it is flahing up (like in the video) when nothing is actually plugged in

 

[dragoonk]

You could try installing Windows and see if the problem persists. Install only the audio driver and see if it happens. If all good, install the graphics driver and see if it still happens.

i dont really wanna reinstall windows but thanks for one solution maybe, is there a way to just do the audio drivers ?
thanks for the help guys by the way

are you running onboard audio or a separate sound card?

 

[jordancard]

in not really to keen on the idea of reinstalling windows to be honest, but is there a way to just reinstall the audio drivers ?

 

[dragoonk]

Well sometimes that should be the final solution but necesary. Sometimes Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers doesn't work. If reinstalling windows doesn't work then it might be a hardware issue or some sort of incompatibility.

 

[jordancard]

im running on board, dragoonk if i uninstall windows then i loose everything right ? i have like 300gb of games ?

 

[dragoonk]

Ahh... you don't have another partition where you store all of your important stuff?

 

[jordancard]

well i have 1 with 40gb of space on it but that seems a big faff to be honest, i might just buy a usb headset because i know they work, thanks for the help though mate. this has busted my headphones anyway so i need some new ones now

 

[dragoonk]

Alright, no problem.. wish I could do more. Good luck!

 

[jordancard]

nah, at least you could contribute something, im very grateful. thank you

driver fault.

wipe the current audio drivers and reinstall gpu drivers to most upto date stable version.

it a guess but it is most likely the spdif acting up, drivers should sort it out
