    No sound after recapping

    Hello , I get no sound output after changing my capacitors.It's weird because sound drivers load without problems.Control panel shows everything OK, sound hardware is detected OK.This happened after 3300uf 6.3v(3) near CPU socket, 2200uf 6.3(4) near CPU socket, 1500uf 6.3 (2)near AGP slot and 1500uf 6.3(1)near chipset SIS730 were changed.Its a PCCHIPS 810 rev 7.1c with Duron 850 CPU onboard (soldered).Is there any way to fix this?Thank you

    Re: No sound after recapping

    Are you sure you didn't accidentally desolder something related to the sound hardware? If it's an on-board sound card, the sound output socket may have a dry solder joint. If the sound hardware is detected properly, the drivers have loaded and you can play sounds, the card is physically OK - probably just some problem with connectors.

    Also, double-check that all capacitors you put in are the right way round. Maybe one of the capacitors you soldered in was used for the sound card amplifier, and you soldered it in the wrong way round - which would cause it to stop functioning.

    You _are_ plugging the speakers into the right socket, aren't you? Are the speakers powered on? Have you tried headphones? (Sounds dumb I know, but I honestly have been stumped by these problems before!)
    You know there's something wrong when you open your PC and it has vented Rubycons...

      I've tried with speakers, headphones and nothing happens.Solder joints are ok and I did't made any mistake when soldering the new capacitors.

        Not dumb at all - often the solution is hard-to-find simply because the problem is so banal. The KISS principle, you could say, a modified Occam's Razor.

        Welcome Jorge Also check the board for any solder "boogers", as Topcat would say - they're easy to miss.

        PS. Just read your reply, Jorge. Is there any sound/crackling at all, or is it completely silent? Could you check with a sensitive voltmeter if there's any potential at the socket at all?

          It's completely silent ,seems like the sound amplifier does not work at all

            did it actually detect the hardware and then request driver?

              Do you have the front panel audio connector on your board? If so it will have 2 jumpers that must be present for the sound to work, or have the front panel audio plugged in. Make sure you didnt accidently knock these off.

                Sound hardware is detected flawlessly, the only problem is the output there isn't any sound output. There isn't any, even when booting the machine using msdos and initializing the onboard sound with sndinit /init.For example Duke Nukem for MSDOS detect the hardware like windows do without any problem but there is no sound.

                  The output isn't driven... tried something with an amp in it?

                    what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
                    by ChaosLegionnaire
                    so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                    i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                    Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
                    by LEECH666
                    Good day ladies and gentleman!

                    I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

                    This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

                    I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

                    Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
                    by Christos Tsiligiannis
                    Hello to the forum.

                    My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

                    So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

                    To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

                    So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
