Why the video card??

And the sound card seems fine. The sound still comes out from the built-it speakers.
I don't think I still have a warranty. In the gateway website it says:
Warranty Info: Not Available

yes - on a school dell laptop the speakers on the laptop still work, but the sound card doesn't because the motherboard has cracked.

But how can the speakers work without the sound card? It is like if they were onboard?

And what would be the solution? Should I buy a new one?

Or is there any other means to be sure that it has died?

erm a possible solution would be to buy some USB headphones

The sound card itself probably hasn't died just maybe the part leading to the jack or maybe the jack itself.

It could be set to output to speakers and not to headphones. To check this, go to control panel, sound. It should list your sound devices, then right click and make the headphones the default device. They will need to be plugged in.
