So, I accidentally plugged my mic into my sound card's line in, and my PC BSOD'd after a DPC Watchdog violation error. Upon restarting, Windows won't recognize the sound card (doesn't show up at all) and attempting to install the drivers for the card just yields an error message that my sound card was not detected.
I can't think of this damaging the hardware somehow, so does anyone here have any idea what happened, and how I could fix it? Working on a few things now, but any help would be much appreciated.
My sound card is the following:

Install Gentoo.

swap slots if you can

>>60801658
test on different hardware, if problem persists, it is a hardware issue

Creative hardware was never good.

Swapping slots corrected the issue. I guess I killed the slot, but that result seems insane for the mistake I made.

Is the mic faulty?
Or powered/amplified?

If it's powered or amplified, plugging it into line in would be the correct way about it. Only if it's got an amplified out with phantom power I could see things going wrong, but then it would blow everything up when plugged into the mic port, too.

1. Uninstall ALL sound card driver software.
2. turn off computer, unplug the power cord connecting from wall to your computers psu . then with the power cord unplugged press the power button on your computer. your computer might turn on for a second then turn off again.
3. open up computer , put the sound card back into the original slot, then take out the cmos battery from motherboard, and set aside.
4. plug the power cable back into the computer, turn on computer, and see if the sound card is recognized again.
5. put back cmos battery.

Wrong, as per standard for a tripfag I guess.
Creative hardware has always been great, their software on the other hand was awful, they're the prime reason 32bit client WindowsNT was restricted to a hard 4GB memory limit.

Download Ubuntu 16.04LTS, put it on a flash drive with Rufus.
Once booted, test audio any way you see fit, if it's not working-
Open settings (the cog with a spanner on the right) then goto sound, check if your soundcard is there and that it's selected as default soundcard
Test again if present/not selected before, move ahead if it's not shown
open a terminal and typelspci -h |grep creative
If you don't see your card, it's probably dead jim - but try reseating it anyway.
IF you do see your card, reseat and try again, if still no worky, it's probably dead jim.

You been microshitted by windaids. I bet the card works fine in the slot if you boot Linux or BSD.
