Ever since I installed an SSD and fixed my monitor, all forms of audio stopped working in my computer except for bluetooth devices. I’ve tried everything you can find with searching “site:reddit.com” but I’ve found nothing helpful. Please help, I’ll try to answer any questions for more information.

    Maybe you fried the audio card accidentally while replacing the SSD?

    Does HDMI audio out work? Or a USB soundcard?

      HDMI output works (tested on a monitor with one) but I don’t have a soundcard to test it.

        Are you using the front panel audio? Could those plugs have been dislodged when you did the SSD?

        If not, my money is on fried audio card. Buy a replacement usb soundcard :(

          My speakers seem to work now, after installing Realtek’s software, and disabling front panel detection. The problem is not solved though because my headset still doesn’t work. Sigh.

            Did windows force your audio to go to your monitor?

            There is nothing that pisses me off more then how Microsoft thinks they know better then me when it comes to my audio…a PlayStation controller hooked upto a PC should NOT be my desktop speaker and microphone anything it gets connected.
