My built in sound card has failed. The headphone jack does work. Is there any audio reason to get a usb sound card? If so, do you have recommendations for one?
My question is whether there is any advantage to a cheap USB sound card versus jsut using the headphone port. I don't think I need optical. I wasn't using it before.
What do you think?
I think your sound card did not fail.
If headphone jack works, the sound card is working.
Your connection the speakers may have failed, but I susepect software is to blame. The chance of left and right speaker connections failing at the same time without some physical abuse seems remote.
I get sound from the headphone port. I do not get sound from the output port on the built-in wound in the back of the computer. I think it is this port that has failed. I may find ways to test the others. -- Bob Rea www.petard.us www.petard.us/blog America, it was a wonderful country Til they took it private and made it a theme park of itself -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
