I just put in a new video card ATI radeon 2600X an now my sound isnt working!?!?

I just put it in about 10 minutes ago.|||some of the 2600 series have sound w\ them so that you could go dvi to hdmi and have sound included in the link. it would have installed an audio driver, so if you go into device manager and maybe disable it you should have sound back.|||go to my computer nad right click choose properties/hardware/device manager and scroll down to the sound card and update the drivers.|||On some video cards(ATI mainly) the sound drivers will need to be reinstalled to get them working properly. Installing the drivers for the ATI cards for some reason seem to have problems removing sound drivers.

Also, ATI drivers have issues with them anyway. ATI makes very good cards but I got rid of my ATI card and ended up getting me an Nvidia card. Yes Nvidia is a littl ebit more money for slightly better performance but at least I don't have the headaches with the ATI drivers anymore. Some people don't have the problems as I did and hopefully you won't. I believe it is more on compatible hardware in the computer than anything else.|||did u install the software?|||Check that your card is seated fully. Try removing the new video card and see if the sound returns. If the sound is onboard, you may have messed it up. Make sure you ground yourself by touching an upainted metal surface on the computer before touching anything else inside the computer.|||well maybe your audio driver got deleted.



to check



go to mycomputer>properties>hardware>device manager



check to see if your audio driver is installed, if it is not or has a ! on it, download another one online
