bubbleduck · 03-22-2009

hi
i installed a new video card into my computer, and ever since sound has stopepd working, i tried uninstalling all my sound drivers
and could not manage to install them again
so i made a partition, to back up my data to do system restore, half way through the partition, my comp went into stand by and my hard drive became corrupt, i managed to get Fdisk and format my hard drive
now i back onto windows vista ultimate but now again i have no sound, and i dont have any of the Original HP software.
when i first got the pc. it came with a Realtek Sound icon in the task bar, but i instaleld many realtek drivers for my pc and none of them are making my sound work.
please can someone help me

Hi bubbleduck,

Welcome to the forum.

Your new graphic card has built in sound and has taken over from your old sound source.
