dead on-board audio chip?

[CmdrAdrian]

the problem: occasionally i would get static of feedback when shutting down, today i got a slightly different sounding static an when i booted up poof, motherboard not detecting my connected headphones..... tried uninstalling, re-installing and using default windows drivers, no luck .

 

 

system:

MB: asus m5a99fx pro r2

GPU:  r9 290

Cpu: fx 8320
Bios version on mb: 2301, had 2501 but reverted to an older one to see if bios was the issue

 

i think i can use the hdmi audio to my monitor and use the 3.5 on my monitor to get audio, butttt i don't have a hdmi cable (using dvi)

out of warranty? RMA if you can

 

I have 2 dead motherboard sound card and use this

http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Channel-External-Sound-Adapter/dp/B0027EMHM6/ref=zg_bs_3015427011_5

it's cheap, and works, quality sound doesn't really matter, it just about the same for my ears.
 

disable HD Audio/Audio Onboard from bios before.

Get an internal sound card if you have room, it doesn't have to be a great one if you are simply looking to replace you onboard audio.

If you don't have room get a USB sound card like the one mentioned by @Blebekblebek
