The Audio Port/USB Drive is not a common failure part, and the connected devices should first be checked to see if they are functional. If the connected devices are functional, you should reinstall the required drivers from Acer to eliminate any software issues. If the software drivers do not resolve the problem, then suspect the Audio Port/USB Drive has gone bad, and will need to be replaced.
This guide provides simple steps to replace the Audio Port/USB Drive on the Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830T-6682 using minimal tools that can be acquired locally, or through iFixit. Please make sure and follow the prerequisite procedures.
