You said in your first post that you have upgraded your computer. Can you be more precise? What exactly have you upgraded the hardware or the OS?

NRT · 23 Jan 2012

If not as listed in your specs, what is it now?

NRT · 23 Jan 2012

any reply on this ??

It could be either or both. I've no experience with VIA audio (all my systems have used Realtek), so it might be pertinent to see if a VIA audio user can offer any advice.

Short of putting a spare PCI sound card in it is difficult to tell!

i've formatted my computer atleast 3 times to get rid of this problem, of the thought of a virus... scanned with malwarebytes and found no infections though..

Hi,

I doubt this is malware-related : it certainly points to a hardware/driver issue. has the sound ever worked on this system before? At which point did it stop functioning properly?

Regards,
Golden

Have you tried the mundane things like, trying the speakers in the front speaker socket? Trying a headset in the front and back sockets? Trying your speakers in another PC if this is possible?
