Have You Checked Master Volume control. Checked Windows Audio Service is
started. Checked Device Manager for bad drivers. Checked your audio mixer software (if
installed) for a setting that mutes back panel audio if you have plugged headphones into a front
panel audio jack. .....Uncheck this setting to allow audio to both the back and front. Checked BIOS to insure on-board sound is enabled. Installed the correct Chipset and Audio
drivers. None of that worked? Have you tried this? The Universal Audio
Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio driver for Windows may be corrupted or causing problems
with the audio driver installation. To resolve this, try the following: 1. Click Start
> Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. 2. Look for the following two items: Realtek High
