Soundcard

I'm thinking it's probably just fried.. but all the sudden randomly my soundcard totally kirked out. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.. I'll open up the coputer to make sure everything is in there properly and turn it back on and it works fine for the first 10 mins then all the sudden it's silent again. The drivers are fine.. the main problem being I know about jack shit about sound cards and I'm pretty sure it's not integrated because it's nvidia and my mb is soyo.. but who knows, i'm a retard when it comes to that

any ideas?

the port is probably fucked up. That happens more than anything else.

How do I fix it

See if the port wiggles around when you insert the jack into it first.

If it does move around at all and suddenly either the sound dies and/or comes back from there, then your port is hosed.

You buy a new soundcard if that is the case.

Could be a cable as well and you'd test it along the same lines 10sun already noted (wiggle the cable, does sound kick on/off). I'm assuming your speakers are external to the computer.

They are external, and yeah I did the wiggle test and it was fine
