    No more sound?

    Hey everyone...

    Recently a large electrical storm hit my area while I was playing BF2. I heard thunder off in the distance but didn't think much of it. All of a sudden BOOM!!!!! My house was hit by lightning. My monitor turned purple, green, and just about every other color on the color wheel. My BF2 crashed and I couldn't even move the mouse or anything. I quickly kicked the off button as fast as possible and waited 10 min. or so. I turned it back on and everything was back to normal except, I no longer have sound. The sound is built onto my motherboard. (MOBO: Intel D845EBT) Is the sound hardware on my motherboard completely fried? I'm not sure why this should happen since I have a surge protector, and everything else works perfectly fine.

    Are you sure that your speakers are still working?

    ..and having a surge protector doesn't guarantee you against damage from lightning strike

      Yeah, my speakers, headphones, and microphone are all not functioning. When I reboot my computer, a loud popping sound comes through the speakers, but thats it.

          lol, oh well. Thanks anyway. I should be building a new computer soon anyway. So I'll just get a crappy soundcard as a temporary replacement.
