Quick question for the computer-savvy folks on the board. My home computer currently gives me the message "no audio device" under sound/audio on the control panel, and therefore I have no sound. I was working fine until last week. The sound card is an on-board one, and appears to be working fine, but I bought a cheap PCI card as a quick fix just in case the on-board sound card had gone bad. Still no sound. I've reinstalled all the drivers for both sound cards, changed the settings in the BIOS (disabled on-board to allow the PCI card to work, and vice-versa), and ensured that there are no device conflicts by doing the same thing in the Windows settings. At this point, I'm tempted to simply do a full system restore to factory settings, but then I'm going to lose all of the applications I've installed over the past year, which is not a pleasant thought.
Ideas? I'm at my wits end these days.
