Or perhaps it's the speakers and their amplifiers.
IMO, that's the logical conclusion.
I've never had the audio chip on any computer fail -- ever. Nor have I
ever had a USB audio adapter fail (though I've only used a couple of
them over the years).
I've never had an audio chip of any sort fail either on any of my
computers. Even the ones plugged into my Denon AVR in the den - my old
computer was 13-14 years old when I replaced it a couple years ago and
it was used everyday with the AVR.
