Well I finally have some time to get to some butt kickin, and I now have NO audio  !!  Not my headset, cause I did some troubleshooting on another PC and it works fine, so it looks like I'm a lookin for a new sound card...   Christmas is next week so it will probably be after I recover from buying toys for 5 grandkids!! 

*sniff* I miss you guys!!

some PC's have 2 soundcards.... 1 actual card and 1 built in. if you have the 2 try the other one, just make sure to change the settings to use the built in 1.

"You built it" custom or "friend's brother built it" custom or "made-to-order out of a magazine ad" custom?

Creative X-Fi soundcards get a thrusty thumbs-up from me. Go go go.

Dont forget custom computers off of dell.com.

I would agree that creative makes some good card, but I've noticed recently (the last 2 or so years) that on board sound is getting pretty good, low noise and all (assuming you are going with a good ASUS or Intel board, not some crap budget board). The only real reason to get a card is if you are doing pro audio work, are and extreme audiophile with really good speakers, or you need some fancy out to you existing audio system.

I built it.. about 2 years ago every part ordered by me and assembled by me.. guess it's time for all around upgrades.. Only thing I've had to do is bump memory and now it's maxed out.. *sigh*  I see a 'newegg' in my immediate future.. well immediately after christmas for the kiddies recovery.. LOL...
