Intel DH55TC motherboard. Was upgrading memory, on rebooting got error message. Put old memory back and rebooted everything worked but, Lost all sound. Was running sound from video card - HDMI- to tv. Tried a Linux live from USB. Still no sound. Tried headphones. Still no sound. Thinking motherboard is bad.
Checked bios, reset to default. Pulling battery and letting it sit overnight.
Any ideas?
 
It's ancient, so could have died due to touching it. See what the BIOS discharge does; if not, likely need to find alternative solutions.

If the board is stable for all other purposes, there are ways to get sound out to a TV.
 
I understand that it is old, but I hate to trash anything. A new (used) motherboard would be less than a low profile PCI Express x1 sound card.
Would like to figure out what happened. Maybe something in the southbridge?
 
Try reseating the videocard and make sure all the contact are clean, could have nudged it installing or removing the RAM.
