    Installed new GPU, now sound is broken.
    « on: February 01, 2009, 12:16:39 PM »
    I put in a new ATI Radeon 4550 card today, everything works fine except my sound stopped working. In the sound options it says its working but it isnt. Someone on a different board told me maybe to try setting my sound card as primary/default audio device. How would i go about doing this? Or is there another solution?
    thanks

          under the Playback tab in Sound options it used to say Realtek Audio something before i installed this new card. Now it says Digital Output Device (HDMI) and it ways its "working"

          well change it back to your realtek one and all will be better.

          Just make sure you change it in both tabs
