    So i turn on my computer and play some music... no sound at all. I take my receiver and hook it up to all the other outputs on my motherboard (on-board sound) and only one of them seems to putting out any form of sound which happens to be the back left/right. Now before anyone tells me to buy a sound card (which i am currently in the process of doing) i just wanted to know if its normal for on-board sound to just stop working and never work again or if it's something worth getting an RMA for? Thanks in advance!

    I think you gotta physically take out the sound card and put it back in, I had to do that one time but before I just had to update the driver.

    @Ionmirage - nope all drivers are updated
    @Hadouken - like i said in my original post, it is on-board sound.

    I read a bunch of reviews on newegg of people having the same thing happen, but im still not sure if this is a bad thing or not for my motherboard's general performance. I mean i'm going to have a new sound card anyways so i could careless about on-board.
