When it was supposed to play the little bongo drum thing, there was a loud brrrrrap then nothing. Go back to Windows and there's nothing but static and popping from both the headphones and the rear connection.

Not sure if there's some firmware thing involved or what but removing the device and drivers, allowing Windows to reinstall drivers and me manually adding Realtek HD audio drivers did nothing.

I just ordered a Sound Blaster PCIe card. It'll be here Friday. Not fooling with it anymore. In the meantime, my Logitech wireless USB headset will suffice.

Logitech wireless USB headset is fine and I have one PCIe slot available so….Sound Blaster PCIe card will be here Friday. Not messing with it anymore.

Would love to know how the Ubuntu Live thing actually managed to scramble the onboard audio enough that it stopped working.

Not sure if it did something to firmware or not but nothing I have tried so far has fixed the problem.

Decided to do the Ubuntu Live thing from memory stick. Boot back into Windows 10 when done.Audio is broken. Nothing but pops and static from headphones and speakers.

Not happy.

And that was in 2011 and I totally forgot all about it. I am losing my damned mind.

There's bringing old code to the present and there's translating The Dead Sea Scrolls.

I will never let a project get this old again. I will never let a project get this old again.I will never let a project get this old again.I will never let a project get this old again.

@kdfrawg The guilt you must have felt when the scoop went in and tore it's face apart.

This is pretty horrible.
