It's dead tedious trying to pin these things down, but those 3.5mm stereo
jack sockets are awful things - it's easy to lose a channel because of no
more than a bad contact there.
I lost sound on the PC I use for music, last week. It turned out to be a
dead spot on the 2-gang volume control on the amp it's plugged into. Move
it a mm either way and all was fine, I discovered after about an hour
checking connections among the spaghetti. Doh.
We've got ...7 PC's around here, 3XPP,1 W2k SP1 (essential for USB),3
W98SE. None give any trouble with USB/USB2. IME it either works fine or it
doesn't at all. Once drivers are installed, it just works. Even when a USB
peripheral mfr's device drivers are hooky, or the install buggers up, the
OS level stuff that drives USBis unperturbed - it's just that particular
device that doesn't work. Plug something else in and it's fine.
If it's a DFI Infinity or Lanparty Athlon mobo, throw it away now, the QC
is terrible - BTDT, twice. If it's an AOpen P2 MX-something of a few years
ago, check the capacitors, they went through a bad patch...
