onboard Nemo sound stopped working?

Turned on my X1000 and didn't hear the usual start up chingle so checked to make sure my speakers were on and yup, next replaced audio cable and still no sound, next got another pair of speakers and nope that wasn't it either SOOOOO looks like onboard sound just stopped working...no big deal since I've got a few PCI sound cards lying around somewhere.

what sound cards are you guys rockin in your machines ?

I have a cheap PCI-E sound card in my X5000 I bought from Ali Express. Something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32969245543.html (apologies, Odyssey won't render this well).

Very impressed the X1000 had onboard sound! Hope you figure out the issue.

Just check that the volume in mixer on XDock is not at 100. For me on my X1000, that seems to mute my audio...

@ddni

Had to use NemoSound as Mixer wasn't working for me..anyhow I tried all the setting on NemoSound but nothing

@daveyw

thanks I've got one of those around somewhere but if I can't find it they're cheap enough nowadays to get a hold of

It just seems odd that the hardware would stop. Can you bung in a temp replacement hdd with a quick and fresh install of os4feu2 and see if it works with that?

Well, I wonder how long the compactors last on these computers, sooner or later we need to do some maintenance on these computers.

@rjd324

Well, I had the network card in my X5000 also just stop working, although I had problems with it from day one, and my Amiga was switched off and not used for long periods during the pandemic.

yup strange and my X1000 is normally on every day but come to think of it I was sharing a speaker system with my 1200 Tower and I did plug a few chords the wrong way without shooting off the amp so maybe could have caused some magic smoke ? who knows but can’t be bothered messing with setting up a new partition etc as there’s all kinds of cheap PCI-e sound cards nowadays that are good

well only good thing about my onbaord sound chip breaking is that now that I've got my case out of the mancave and opened up I've been meaning to install an SSD back up drive for a while since my 'real' HD in there has got a ton of km's ..er miles on it
