Installed Graphics Card Sound Has Gone!
Oct 20, 2008
I have an Hewlett Packard SR5401UK pc running Vista 32-bit it has onboard graphics & sound but I've just installed an NVIDIA 8800gs graphics card, the card works fine but for some reason the sound has disappeared!! i've just updated the realtek drivers but still have the problem!! it worked fine before installing the g.card , whats even more strange is that when i plug in my headphones i can hear sound but nothing at all through the speakers!!
When i installed the 8800gs it disabled the onboard g.card automatically itself i was wondering if it has done the same with the sound? but if it had i wouldnt be able to hear sound through the headphones right? device manager says the sound is working fine!

hey, i upgraded my graphics card (ATI HD3850) on my computer and it works fine but i no longer have sound on my computer. i tryed updating the drivers and changing the settings and still no sound. when i take out the graphics card i have sound again. i asked bestbuy and they said that i shorted out something on the motherboard, i told them that when i take the card back out i have sound again and they were clueless about what to do. nobody that i've talked to has ever heard of this happening. they said it seems like a driver conflict and to upgrade the drivers, but that didn't work. does anyone have any ideas?

I just got the Razer Barracuda headset and I wanna get the most sound out of it. Now on the back the out ports work for all the wires but when I try to plug into the mic one on the back it doesn't. So I`m either suck with a mic that sounds like i`m miles away and great sound, Or i`m with a great mic and decent sound(just front speakers). It works on the front however but on the front there is only room for a front speaker. Is there a way around this?....This is what it says in the owners manual about the ports 1 microphone connector Use the microphone connector to attach a personal computer microphone for voice or musical input into a sound or telephony program. Now the only line in connect on the back 9 Line in connector Use the (Blue) line-in connector to attach a record/playback device such as a cassette player,CD player,

I installed an audio card (Sound Blaster X-Fi model SB046APCS) and I can't hear any sound comming out of my PC (I build it myself). The sound tests tell me everyting is working OK and that there are no confilcts with the card. Yesterday I downloaded the Vista audio driver SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_15_0004.exe from Creative and still no sound. When performing the diagnostics, I can see a green color going up and down in the sound bar but thats all.
I have an Intel DX38BT motherboard, do I have to disable whatvever options there are for audio in the BIOS or the motherboard disables it when it detects an audio card installed? The sound card is recognized by the hardware manager. The dvd burners installed are the Plextor 810SA (sata) and the Memorex dvd burner(model 32023220). I have placed the music cd in both, with the same result, no sound can be heard. The speakers I am using are the JBL Creature (which works OK on my other pc).

I just upgraded to Vista U x64 and am having sound problems. I have a prelude x-fi sound card but the sound coming out of it is extremely low. I have maxed out every thing I can max (control panel sound, creative panel) and the sound level is whisper quiet. I have also upgraded all my drivers except the prelude's, I would but their website isn't offering those drivers at the moment. But the drivers supplied with the card are vista certified so I should get something. But my mobo, etc is all updated. I have been searching for a solution for two days to no avail.

I have a HIS ATI Radeon HD 4870x2 Graphics card I am getting very poor gpu clock and memory speeds on both cores of my graphics card. at both 3D and 2D mode, using GPU-Z 0.3.0.0 and ati 8.12 catalyst control center I know that in 3D mode it should be at 750MHZ and 900MHz and 2D at 507MHz and 500MHz(2gpu). I have un-installed and re-installed the 8.12ccc with no change at all, also using driver cleaner(in safe mode) when un-installing. I get no arifacts as I use ExpertTool V4.0, enable fan contol for cooling while playing games. Its just the card will not run at its full potentuall or how it should.

Iv'e just got a really new computer installed and already I am having real bad problems, particularly graphics related. these are my specs: Now i don't want to sound precious, i know that is a really good set-up, but it seems to not be working very well at all! One of the biggest frustrations is the game farcry, my old computer couldn't really run it and now it seems my new one wont either!
symptoms:
- farcry video settings' "auto detect" options choose everything on the lowest settings (thats when i knew something was up) - i change the settings to highest possible and begin playing - at first, colours, lighting, etc apear almost inverted, very mixed up and incorect (indoors)....................

I'm looking to invest in a new graphics card i have a max of about £130 i want to spend but there are a few issues first off, my pc comes with a ****ty dell 350w PSU which has one graphics power connector now i did a PSU calculator with the card i want to buy>>Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cardand it says it should come under 350 but i would like your opinions. Also is that the best card i can get for the cash? i would prefer ATI but would be willing to go over to Nvidia. i currently have a HD radeon 2600 XT which is a slim one, depth wise anything would fit, but i think a longer card would have a hard time fitting.

I have a 2 year old XFX GeForce 8600 GT PCIE 16X that Im trying to install in a new computer with vista 64 and on board ATI radeon HD 3200. The first couple times i tried it, after install, i got no graphics at all, until i removed the card. After going into the BIOS, and changing the "displayPort Config" from Auto to Enabled, the on board graphics would work with the card installed, but not the card graphics. When i try to load the supplied drivers I get this message "The VGA detected seems not XFX's product. please go to nvidia.com to get the driver for the other NVIDIA VGA."
I dont understand that, but i then downloaded updated drivers from Nvidia, but when i try to install them, i get an assortment of error messages, including "The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware", "you are running a 32bit version of nvidia uninstaller on a 64bit system", "setup detected the operating system in use is not windows vista 64bit" these errors seem to contradict themselves.
Is it possible this card is not compatible with the computer? The card may be bad, as my old PC lost graphics, but the geek squad (a bunch of morons by the way) swapped cards and still no graphics and said my MoBo was bad, so i just got new PC, but woudl like to use this card , as I assume its better than the included built in graphics. Going into the MoBo users guide, it doesnt cover switching from on-board graphics to PCI slot, other than describing how to configure the BIOS settings for the graphics card to support ATI Hybrid CrossFireX. I tried that, but it didnt seem to do anything either. im guessing the ATI contol center software doesnt show the enable CrossFire option without a CrossFire compatible card installed, or i didnt install the drivers correctly for that function.

Whenever I'm chatting on IMVU, or doing anything which requires lot of 3D, my screen flickers 2 or 3 times, I see everything freezed, the screen turns black, and then most of the time, after a while, it turns back and gives me a balloon message on the taskbar that the graphics' driver stopped responding and is restored.
It happens a lot.
And it gives on my nerves a lot, because when the screen returns, all 3D using programs are not responding anymore, untill I try to close it, and tell Windows Vista to wait untill it responds, then it takes about a minute or 2 to see motion again.
Sometimes the error doesn't happen at all. Sometimes it happens every 5 minutes. And I even had a blue screen once.
The only thing I was able to read was that the graphics' driver stopped responding and Windows was unable to restore it.
I tried reinstalling the driver.
I own the newest version of the driver, so update is not possible.

Now i've installed Vista Home Premium 32-bit onto the system, but it will not detect the graphics card at all. Although i have got a display (Motherboard does not have on-board). I've tried using the driver disk supplied with the card, but it always tells me to go to the XFXForce website, so i do and download their drivers and install but CCC does not appear to get installed. I've tried the card in another Vista 32-bit System and it gets found and drivers install nicely and the card works fine. Is there anything wrong that i'm doing??

I just installed the new GTA IV on my computer. I have a notebook with the required performance, Processor (1.8 GHz required, 2.0 GHz Owned) graphics card (256 MB Required, 384 MB Owned) and plenty of RAM (4 GB) but when the game loads, it says there is not enough video output to run the game. I have looked into why and I found the problem and was wondering if anyone could help. The problem is in the graphics memory usage. It says that 128 MB goes toward dedicated memory and 256MB goes towards shared memory. I was wondering if it were at all possible to make all of the video memory go towards the dedicated memory because in the game it says it is only getting the dedicated memory? I tried looking in BIOS to switch all of it to dedicated memory but was unsuccessfull in my attempts.

I know that some graphics cant be removed if they are integrated, but most of the cards I have seen don't specify whether they can be changed. Can the Intel GMA 4500 be changed? (any model of it e.g. 4500, 4500MHD. Can the Ati Radeon HD 3200 be changed?

I havent been on these forums in a while, which is good becuz it means i have had no problems but... i want a new graphics card becuz my intel card doesnt currently support the detail i want it to.
I currently have the Moblie intel(R) 965 express chipset family, but it doesnt support lighting detail on a game i play. its browser based, and the tech forums for that game says its my graphics card. I am awaiting full confirmation as of yet. Until then, i would like a nvidia graphics card series 6 or upwards, and i am looking to pay £50 so i dont think i am gonna get the 9 series

Installed driver for ASUS EAH3650 Silent Magic graphics card. When check for driver updates via ATI Catalyst Control Center, shows update to a ATI Raedon 3600 driver. Unsure if should stick with the latest ASUS driver or install the RAEDON one.

I recently built my first desktop with the help of a neighbor that knows alot about computers. Anyways, I have an ASUS M2N-VM DVI motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400 Dual-Core Processor, 4 GB Ram, 22" DCLCD LCD monitor, and a Geforce 8800 GTX graphics card and a 500 watt-power supply. When ever I would try to play games that require alot of graphics, my computer would start to slow down in even repetitions and only when I played games. Even games like Sim City 4 and Command and Conquer Generals would slow down! I thought it could have been my power supply, because it requires at least 450 watts to use and I read that my processor uses about 125W. I then recently purchased an 800 Watt BFG power supply thinking it might help the problem, but it still slows down!

I checked display adapters and it says that i have the standard VGA graphics adapter. What can i do to upgrade it?

I started experiencing glitch graphics that kinda looked like someone had splashed paint all over my screen... I tried driver updates and the usual (virus malware scans ect) but no difference was made. So I tried a fresh install but this still seemed to make no difference. when I got this graphics glitch it wasn't just the graphics that went wrong since it seemed to also hang windows, forcing a manual reboot but with the same only to happen again on the next cold or warm boot. It did puzzle me since it seemed only to happen with anything graphical i.e windows or the Bios splash screen but did not seem to glitch out on Bios boot text or even through the windows install screens....
I was quite stuck to as what the cause was, although I had the feeling my graphics card was failing. I didn't have a spare to test and it was a late Saturday evening and had to wait until Monday morning for the stores to open..... (thank goodness i had my old Pentium 4 in the cupboard ) Well Monday morning arrived and with the frustration of having used my old P4 with its ultra slowness and block graphics from its old AGP ATI 9200SE I was very eager to dash off to the shops So I headed off to the local PC repair shop armed with my trusty iPhone loaded with the pictures shown below to ask for their professional advice and low and behold it was confirmed..... my poor BFG 9800GX2 was on its death bed (tip always follow warranties, register and keep your receipts) Now armed with my new and confirmed information I was happy enough to splash out on a new graphics card..... back home i fitted my nice new shiny Gigabyte 9800GT Silent Cell GV-N98TSL-1GI - GIGABYTE Product - Graphics Accelerator - Overview and as expected my PC was back up and running once again
