sound card on home computer....
so......
I have a turtle beach sound card in my computer at home....and out of the blue sometimes, it decides to quit working....or at least I simply get no sound out of my computer....
typically I will be on my computer, listening to music, then I go to bed, the next day, it won't play sound, and I've done nothing....wtf?
so....this doesn't happen all the time, just intermittantly
I try restarting, checking connections, updating drivers, and disable/enable
it shows up as working fine under the manager....but it's a no go for sound...
any ideas?

is it a PCI card? Try taking it out, reboot then re install it.

well, it is a PCI card...
I was going to take it out and reinstall it, or better yet just go with the Chaintech that I had originally bought for the car....
but now, out of hte blue, it's working
I haven't done a damn thing different since I posted about it....
so what gives?
is it just flaky and on it's way out or something?

Try a different PCI slot... if that don't work, I bet the card is just dying...

Do you have cats?
Just kidding. Make sure there aren't any programs muting any lines. Open up the sound manager and check the levels.

Sometime we miss the most obvious. It could have gone bad. Turtle Beach has very good cards. If you just want to replace it you can get a Santa Cruz for around $35 @ CC.

it's still working - so I'll keep it till it completely craps out...I have the chaintech sitting here that I originally bought for my car but wouldn't work for my set-up....I'll use it when it comes time....I'm not real big on bad *** sound from my home computer....I have other things to fulfill that need....lol

I had that same card in my Dell XPS-450 that I had for 6 years, it used to work fine under Win98 and 2000 then when XP came out it didn't work that well with the XP Legacy drivers and Dell and Turtle Beach stopped making drivers for it. Might be time to scrap it.
