Gaming Lost sound after video-card install

[GeekyGuy]

Got my new PSU and hd 4670 video card today, installed without a hitch, really. Before installing any of the hardware, I uninstalled the current display drivers and shut down my PC. I then put in the new gear, flipped `er back on, and installed the ATI drivers from the disc. Computer rebooted, changed my display to fit my monitor in the ATI options, and tested out a game, which ran like butter. However, there's no sound, and my computer tells me there is no sound hardware installed.

Help please.

Hm maybe your computer is confused because of the audio hardware on your graphics card. Some graphics card have audio hardware for audio through HDMI.

hmm. could be a conflict in device manager where the graphics and sound card is using the same icr (or something like that) number.

try updating your graphics drivers

What kind of sound are you using? Are you using a sound card with it? Maybe you need to have a sound card driver as well . But this shouldn't be the case since it was working before...

EDIT: Awesome. At least it is working now.

I'm not sure what the actual sound device name was, as it's built into my motherboard. I didn't have any luck re-installing the drivers from the HP help center included with my version of Windows XP, so I ended up just going into the BIOS and changing the audio settings from Auto to Enable. Sound is back on, so I'm happy.

Thanks anyway.

does your 4670 have a built in HDMI port by any chance?
