I just bought a new video card Radeon HD 3870 and it for some reason has an audio driver erasing my old audio?

The video card installed its own driver, and I can't find out how to switch back to my old way of playing music. I have a Logitech 5.1 surround sound system and an HP m7360n computer|||Do a Google search for,



Radeon HD 3870 audio driver problem



Here's what one tech site says, note particularly the last paragraph, sounds like there might be a problem with the driver.



Have you downloaded the Vista updates ?.



Have you checked the Radeon or the Microsoft websites for new drivers or bug reports ?.



In case you decide to uninstall the Radeon software, see below.



A normal uninstall doesn't always remove all of the stuff that a program puts on your P.C. . nor will it always reverse changes to the Windows registry a free, and easy to use program called, Revo Uninstaller will do that. It does a basic uninstall then it gives you a list of optional uninstall items, say yes to everything on the list.



Your original sound driver may still work. or you may have to reinstall it.

We have to admit we were somewhat skeptical about the Radeon HD 3870 X2 when we were presented with the idea on paper. The single-card implementation of Crossfire could have easily transformed into big product delays and an overall less appealing product down the line. But AMD has proven itself this time, successfully launching the Radeon HD 3870 X2 on schedule, and perhaps even more important than that, having actual products on retail shelves immediately.







As you should know by now, the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 is essentially two Radeon HD 3870 GPUs stuck together on the same PCB. The GPUs use a PCI Express 1.1 bridge to communicate in much the same way Crossfire ATI cards would. However, because the X2 is meant to be a 'transparent' single card solution, it is still possible to use two of these graphics cards in Crossfire mode. Meaning that with the proper drivers, a quad-Crossfire system becomes a possibility.



Even before testing the X2, we could imagine the performance of two Radeon 3870 GPUs put together would be quite good, but as is the case with standard dual-card SLI or Crossfire, we also expected it to suffer from the same variance depending on the game run. And indeed, the performance of the Radeon HD 3870 X2 turned out to be quite close to that as you will see in our benchmarks.



But the brilliant part about the new Radeon design is that it doesn't rely on drivers or a specific chipset to work (using the two GPUs in a single board). That said, we have still found the current crop of drivers (Catalyst 8.1 and 8.45) to be a little immature. While for the most part the system was stable during testing, every now and then we would encounter a random crash which did not appear to be specific to any game. Whether this is a problem related to drivers running on Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit or not, we are unsure at this point.|||HDMI with 5.1 surround sound audio
