Hi
I have this motherboard that worked fine until two weeks ago when the sound became squeaky and crackling. A few days later, there was no sound at all. In Device Manager (see attached) the audio card is now shown as having a problem.
First I tried easy things like uninstalling audio drivers then installing them again. No luck. It said the drivers are not compatible with the sound card. But the drivers are the same ones from Intel that I used many times before. Then I tried resetting the BIOS. Made sure the audio is enabled. No luck. Then I used programs that list system information, like Speccy, HwInfo, etc. All of them said there is no audio device on board.
So my guess it is a hardware issue. The audio adapter is Intel 82801IB ICH9 - High Definition Audio [A2] and the High Definition Audio Codec is SigmaTel STAC9271D.
I have posted detailed photos of the board hoping you'll help me pinpoint what/where to measure then advice me what to do next.
Thank you
