Sound Issues
Up until yesterday, i would have normal sounds from my speakers.
Yesterday PM, i found that i no longer had sound. I rebooted, checked my speakers, swapped them with another pair, etc. My pc is designed with speaker jacks in both front and back, which is where i normally keep the jack. However, when i moved the jack to the front, my sounds resumed. So what would the issue in the back be and from what? Necessary steps to resolve are? TIA |

Check the wiring between the front-panel jack and the computer mother-board, particularly the connector where it plugs into the board. |

I find that a little contact cleaner on the plug, which is inserted and removed several times may fix it. Some of those front jacks are really, really cheaply made, it could be broken... |

ups.com Up until yesterday, i would have normal sounds from my speakers. Yesterday PM, i found that i no longer had sound. I rebooted, checked my speakers, swapped them with another pair, etc. My pc is designed with speaker jacks in both front and back, which is where i normally keep the jack. However, when i moved the jack to the front, my sounds resumed. The back panel jack has probably become damaged. The type of jack that are typically used on PCs for sound-related connections are well-known to be relatively fragile. If it is is any consolation, the PC I'm typing on right now has a damaged front-panel jack, and I had to move my headphones to the rear-panel jack. The front-panel jack is relatively easy to repair, but I'm either lazy or kinda booked-up at the moment. So what would the issue in the back be and from what? Most probable answer in my experience - a damaged jack. I'm intimately familiar with the wiring that relates to both jacks, and detailed knowlege of it can explain everything that you have experienced. Necessary steps to resolve are? Actually fixing that back panel jack is non-trivial. It is more than likely soldered to the motherboard, which is a multilayer circuit card. So, you need to remove the motherboard, obtain the necesary tools and experience required to replace the jack, and then properly execute a slightly risky series of technical operations. Or, you can just continue to use the front-panel jack. Or, you can modify the internal wiring of the PC to add a second back-panel jack of the kind that is broken. |

I find that a little contact cleaner on the plug, which is inserted and removed several times may fix it. The jack is probably a bit scrambled internally. Pushing in just about anything could temporarily correct the problem. Did I say temporarily? :-( Some of those front jacks are really, really cheaply made, it could be broken... That's my diagnosis - broken jack not working. Trouble is, the rear jack is most likely soldered to the motherboard, or soldered to a board that is soldered to the motherboard. The jacks are small and inherently have less than XLR-like strength. The very best ones can be destroyed accidentally. Maybe some day somone will make some out of titanium, and the like. ;-) |
