I've had this sound card in my audio parts bin for the longest time, and today I popped it into a system to record from and it did not get detected at all. No prompt at POST about a PnP card being detected and initialized and UNISOUND can't find a PnP card in the system. It appears to be dead. However when I took it out I noticed that the lower right side of the card, near the bracket, was uncharacteristically hot for a sound card. I am thinking something may have died there. A voltage regulator or a capacitor failed short maybe? What is an easy way to torubleshoot this card and figure out which component is bad?
I have quite a few more YMF719 cards but I'd rather be able to fix this if I can regardless. 😀 So yeah, paging experts like @Tiido @keropi and @marmes here 😁
