How do you know if...

Broken like no sound is produced? Or hissing/buzzing?

Thumbs up for vagueness.
 
bro·ken v. 1. Past participle of break. --bro·ken adj.
2. Having been violated:
3.a. Incomplete: b. Being in a state of disarray; disordered:
4.a. Intermittently stopping and starting; discontinuous: b. Spoken with gaps and errors: broken English.
5. Topographically rough; uneven:
6.a. Subdued totally; humbled: b. Weakened and infirm:
7. Crushed by grief:
8. Financially ruined; bankrupt. 9. Not functioning; out of order:

So, you know your onboard audio is broken if it was (1) previously broke, (2) previously violated (lets not get into kinky things with sound cards), (3) you have part of a onboard sound card, (4) sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, (5) if you have an onboard audio solution that is not flat, but has bumps, (6) A card that is modest and limp, (7) a onboard sound card is broke if it is sad with grief, (8) your soundcard is poor and needs to get a job, and lastly, (9) its broken if its out of order.

So, to sum up, is your onboard audio limp with bumps because of a previous violation and now stutters? If so, it may be broke.
 
Broken as in there's no sound produced, i'd have said hissing, buzzing, etc if that were the case.

No posts on having my volume turned up all the way in the control panel, having my speakers plugged into the wrong port, having working speakers, or having my sound muted in Volume Control, none of them caused the problem.
 
My last post was a joke, but in all honesty, check your BIOS and look for an option that says Onboard Audio. Make sure it's enabled if you want to use onboard audio.

If that does not work, try and reinstall the onboard soundcard drivers from the motherboard driver CD.

That'd be all I could tell ya. If that doesn't fix it, I have no idea man.
 
Thanks, i've tried both those...someone also recommended disabling it, booting, then enabling it, and boot, something having to do w/ the fact that it's a VIA chip

tried many drivers also...none seem to work, and MSI's site has some lame connection problems

s'prolly just broken, sure i'll find out soon though :)
 
If it is indeed broken after trying troubleshooting, rest assured that you can get a sound card for about $20-$30 shipped to your door.
