Reinstall Windows using a repair installation. Personally, I wouldn't go to the trouble. Reinstalling the Realtek driver should undo any damage done by other software problems.


When I run into an unfixable problem with audio, USB, firewire, etc., I generally just solve it with a PCI card. Sometimes hardware really does just up and die. If you're really strapped for cash (and your time isn't worth much) then doing a clean install of Windows proves it's not a software problem. But given that reinstalling the driver didn't do it, I'd just go with the add-on card solution.

Well tried to reconfigure the jacks with no luck. Gave it one more try and removed everything again and reloaded. Still no. Gonna have to think this one over... It could be releated to an issue I had sometime ago with one of the lan ports. Think we took a power hit and one lan port stopped working. Using the other one now, but but for twice the price of the card, I could just replace the board and maybe avoid issues later on. Probably just buy the m-audio and hope for the best.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
