What would be the most reasonable option?

[OneManCruel]

HI guys, hope you're having a great weekend!

 

My soundcard on my motherboard is broken and the only thing to get audio from my pc is to by a cheap soundcard and plug in speakers, connect bluetooth speakers or buy a whole new motherboard.

 

whats the most reasonable here? i mean it would be gold to travel around with my notebook with actual working speakers instead of bringing a separate ones wherever i go.

 

This notebook is a Acer Aspire-V5-573G 750m gtx 4 GB ram

 

Intel Core i5-4200U 1.6Ghz

Windows 8.1 (Windows 10 now)

8 GB DDR3

 

Storage is 500 GB HDD

 

Thanks alot!!

Is the notebook still in warranty? If so, RMA it?

[OneManCruel]

No, it isn't.

Are you sure it is broken? Maybe it's just the driver or something.

no, it is broken. It was an accident.

I bought the notebook approx 2½ years ago, i paid 700ish US dollars for it but a new motherboard will cost like 290$.

 

What would you do?

You could buy a USB soundcard

get an USB soundcard.. If you want good sound there is one from creative I think for like 50-70$, if not.. there are tons of cheap ones
