Get PC’s sound to work again

Asked By Christopher A Hopkins 40 points N/A Posted on - 11/19/2013

Hello,

My sound card malfunctioned so I diverted the sound through the USB. After that, it worked alright just that sometimes it makes some noise but the sound doesn’t stop. My cooling fan also developed a fault and was replaced by a new one. From then on, anytime the sound plays it breaks for about 15 seconds and doesn’t play afterwards. It only continues playing with MPC player. Just that app alone. Its either I log off or restart the PC before the sound plays again. What could be the problem and the possible solution?
