my sound is fucked - need help

[roflmywaffle]

hey guys, i was trying to do some recording today with my guitar and i usually use my pedal to do that. but my pedal doesnt sound nearly as good as my amp so i was going to run the sound from my amp straight into my pc. i was fiddling around with it and i was recording at the same time so i could hear whether or not it was working. then without stopping recording i unplugged the cord and plugged it into another jack on my amp head and then my sound stopped working. i restarted my computer and to no avail. so i went to check my sound drivers and theyre gone. and now my computer is telling me theres no sound components. im thinking if i just reinstall the sound drivers then it will work, but i dont have time cause i have to go to school. i will try it later tonight when i get home and tell you how it goes, but in the meantime does anyone have any suggestions?

you had plenty of time to reinstall your sound drivers, you wrote a book in here and took a pic .
lol weird

[roflmywaffle]

lmao fuck you pasties, your not helping at all

============EDIT============
alright so i reinstalled my sound drivers, and now it says my audio is working, which is sweet, but it also says my speakers are not plugged in, which they are. same with my mic, any suggestions?

Go to sound options (control panel) and make sure the affinity for your mic and speakers is defaulted to your sound card.

Btw bad idea to change a powerd cord on your sound card...if u plug in one always turn it off before moving...cross your fingers and hope you didnt burn your card.

actually i already know i fried it, i replaced it with my old one i purchased for my old comp (dont worry it is better quality than my onboard sound) but unfortunately i wont have a mic anymore until i have enough money for a sound card that has a mic input that is...

not like anyone wants to hear you anyways.


OHHH BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR N

[enderless]

is there a place near by you that you could buy the same card that you fried? If so then after you buy the new one take it out of the box, put the old one back in and return it.

I can't tell you how much money this has saved me on MP3's players, camera's, mice, etc.
