Ok, so, I've recently updated my bios in preparation of installing a new CPU. After updating my bios, I started having some blue screen issues while gaming. So, I tried updating other drivers and the chipset, etc. to help make everything updated.
That's when I lost sound and the ability to play videos. I tried rolling back my drivers, bios, etc. but nothing seems to help. I tried system restore, no help there. I reformatted and reinstalled my OS (XP-32) hoping that it would set everything back to neutral, but that didn't help either. I've reinstalled everything and I've made sure that everything says it is fine in Device Manager. I've tried resetting the motherboard using the jumper. Nothing is fixing this. I'm just about to call it quits and take it to the shop and pay them to work on it.
When it first boots up (to the desktop), I hear a seconds worth of the windows audio and then it cuts out.
When I try to play music (either file or cd), it opens the player and shows that it is playing, but no sound is played.
I've tested my audio in the Sound and Audio Device Properties. It shows that my microphone is receiving audio and shows that the speakers are receiving audio, but I can't hear anything.
Yes, everything is plugged in and yes the volume is up (nothing is muted).
This is my last effort before taking it in. Any thoughts or suggestions on why my sound and video aren't working, would be great! Thanks.
my rig is in my sig.

It may be a faulty sound card (or onboard sound)
I just don't want to be updating everything if something can cause bigger issues (which is how I got here, I think.) I don't want to do something that can't be undone is all. Is that even possible? Or, in theory, should I be able to undo and updates that I've done?
I'm not sure what you mean by "reset it".
