I was testing this card for a complete run through if everything worked first I got the QCM FM and all emulation to work then I was testing the midi with a SC55 and after that I lost all sound for FM and emulation but the midi with the SC55 still works, I have pulled the card out and tested if all the ISA pins connect to the testing points for peace of mind, they are ok so I tested the 3.5mm line out jack to the PCB and its ok then I cleaned the ISA pins, reseated the card many times and aligned the ISA bus pins beautifully, checked the AWE chip for bent shorted pins - there were none, checked over the card for burnt parts or bent pins and there are none, tried other settings for IRQ, low DMA and high DMA....I have tried to make sure this card was ok in condition and settings so everything checked ok but I have seen one capacitor that has a bit of an angle to it but I cant see under it to see if its bulging its a main big cap near the 3.5mm port its cap 134 can this cap cause audio out from the line out to disappear?

I dont know I have tested the same 486 board with the original sound card I was using in it a PAS 16 and it was good
