Driver issues often cause audio problems on Intel motherboards. To check your drivers, click "Start," "Control Panel," then double-click "System" and click the "Device Manager" tab on the left. If there is an exclamation point next to the audio driver, you must reinstall it. Download it to your desktop from Intel's support website and click it to install. Verify the driver.
Troubleshooting Options
-
Check your speakers on another computer. Verify that mute is not checked by clicking the sound icon from the bottom right tray. Verify that the motherboard does not have any visible damage or burn marks. Check connection cables for wear. Utilize either a hardware-based or a software-based utility to discern whether a component of your motherboard tests bad.
