My PC sound has suddenly failed.
I have onboard sound on the motherboard.
Speakers are OK, as I have tested a new set.
No yellow exclamation errors in device manager.
PC is only 14 months old.

Are there any diagnostic tools that I can use for checking for this error on mobo etc.

Thanks, will try re-installing drivers when home from work........
All other PC functions are working satisfactorily.

Are there any diagnostic tools for checking mobo?
 
After nearly a month this has occurreed again, and worse, after reinstall 3 times hasn't fixed it hasn't been resolved. After the 2nd & 3rd reinstallations, the sound reappeared for the windows shutdown, but upon restart there was no sound again.
Anybody any ideas?
 
yes, should I visit manufacturers website and get updated version, if available?
Will try when I get home after work.
What happens if there is no updates available?
 
this happened to one of my computers, for one mounth the sound worked, and another mounth the sound fails. I tried to reinstall the driver, it worked for another mounth. mine was onboard sound too, i got a audigy sound now, its working for one mounth and half now.
