I swapped a faulty Nvidia Geforce GTX 275 with a replacement Geforce GTX 275 that was supposed to be functional.
However, I now have a new problem! there's no sound!
I've swapped out every set of speakers I own, and I used both audio jacks (one in the front, one in the back). And no luck. I get no sound.
I know I have a sound card, because I used to be able to play sound without any difficulty.
The only thing I changed was the graphics card.
What the hell is going on?
Edit: I looked this problem up on Google. Everyone tells me to re-set the sound card to default (because, apparently, even though it's just a GRAPHICS card ... as in ... GRAPHICS ... the manufacturers decided to get cute, and have an overriding sound card in there as well ... a sound card that doesn't even work!).
Well, here's the problem: here's what the sound menu looks like on my control panel:
As you can see ... my default device hasn't changed. So, the problem must be something else.
EDIT: I tried this method:

But when I entered my bios and switched the onboard audio from "auto" to "enabled," guess what? It STILL DOESN'T WORK!
