I can hear again!
By Alan | January 27, 2008
As I mentioned in this post, I held up Lynn Terry’s podcasting 101 webinar because I couldn’t hear the sound. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I hated that feeling of screwing things up for the webinar as I was re-booting and messing around with my PC trying to hear again. But nothing worked. Thankfully Roy Montero was able to patch me in via telephone and all was well.
I spent time trouble shooting everything that could go wrong…
And nothing no sound. I was thinking of taking it to the Geek Squad at nearby Best Buy.
But the PC is an old Dimension 8200 which I should replace (I do most of my stuff on my MacBookPro) so I didn’t want to spend $150+ to have them look at it. Plus whatever would they charge to fix it. So I decided to buy a $35 sound card at Best Buy instead.
I cracked open the PC box and swapped out sound cards and ta-da…I can hear again! I’ve never been happier to hear that Windows booting up sound when I re-started the computer. 
So this old PC should last me a little longer. Maybe through the summer.
