Sound card died?
9 Answers
My PC sound has been dodgy for about twelve months or so.
I initially fixed the problem by plugging into the green hole in the front of the PC, instead of the one at the back.
Lately, it hs required a little jiggling of the jack to function, and sometimes sound dips in and out.
Now the sound has packed in competely.
Is it just loose wiring, or has the soundcard died? How ieasy is this to fix?
Thanks.

The PC is an NEC. I am plugging the green speakers jack into the green 'plug hole' at the fron, and back of the PC - neither works.

If it's got a front and back speaker connection then the chances are there is not a separate sound card, it will be built onto the main board, which leaves you a couple of options.
replace the front panel connector and carry one using the sound card built into the machine.
Add an additional sound card (assuming the computer has a spare expansion slot inside it)
TBH, cost wise there probably wouldn't be much to choose between the options, they should both be pretty cheap.
