I just want to share a interesting situation I was in this past weekend. I rebuilt all my parts in a new pc case and installed water cooling for cpu. Afterwards I powered up, everything was running smooth except I had no audio. No audio in device manager even after trying all driver fixes and installs. After almost going crazy i removed my cpu chip and inspected. I found 3 pins on cpu were bend a bit and not seating correctly. I fixed it and now sound is instantly back and normal. Hope this helps anyone else in the future.
