PC heads, I need some help! Has to do with the sound settings and sound on my PC.

[Roberto Dinero]

I think I might have broken/blown my soundcard!

Basically, I was using audacity to record a mix from an mp3 controller and now whenever I type I can hear it through the speakers and through the computer. Whenever I click on something, I can hear it.

Have I broken my soundcard? And if not, how do I fix this? I've been messing around with the settings so I'm hoping to be able to fix this.

shutdown..take out battery..hold down the power button for 10 secs... put battery back in..start up and that might fix

Nobody? I'd really appreciate the help! I'm trying to figure out what's broken and how to fix it.

I am using a laptop. PC laptop. I don't really know what happened. But you recommend switching it off and taking the battery out then back in? How does that help exactly? Just curious to know.

oh yea if its a laptop do what i said with the battery etc..

i dont know exactly but i was having probs with my sound that i couldnt fix with my settings.. wouldnt pkay with headphones..sounded buzzed etc...


googled around for like half an hour till i found that little trick and it worked..cant say i remember the site that i got it from

OK, man, thanks. I'll try it out and come back later, I'll tell you if it worked.

 

[Roberto Dinero]

Nah it didn't work. I think when I was trying to record music onto it it musta blown a fuse of some kind. It still works, its just the sound is messed up and I can't connect my equipment to the laptop.

I'll probably have to buy a new one, hopefully this one can last a little longer though. I've had it for a long time.

 

[Roberto Dinero]

So does anyone have any idea of what's wrong or can help me in anyway? Appreciate it...

 

[L68]

maybe take it to a comp fix shop..prolly be a lot cheaper if they fix a little part thats wrong than buying a whole new one

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that. I might do that. Cause tbh I'd like to hold on to this computer for longer. It works just fine, the sound is the only messed up thing.

What pisses me off is that my Mixtrack Pro 2 no longer connects to the laptop for some reason and I really need it to work. If I can fix the sound or whatever is wrong, hopefully it will work again cause it was fine until today.

 

[L68]

google that shyt till u find a fix..might be the drivers or could be the equipment.. or even the program that u use to mix..could be tons of things

Are you saying that all sound is coming through both the headphones and speakers?

Or just typing and mouse clicks are?
