I had a power outage and since then I've been using no sound. I tested the speakers with a phone and they seem to be working fine, but when I tried them on the computer they didn't have any audio at all. No matter if I plugged them into the mobo or the case 3.5mm jack, it's still not working. The same thing happens with another pair of speakers and headphones. In the taskbar, the only audio device that shows is my monitor. What should I do?

did it work with a 3.5 port from both sides? Was the computer running during the power cut?
