No Sound After Installing Graphics Card

I just recently installed a new graphics card onto my Windows Vista Home Basic system and it is showing "No Audio Output Device Installed." When i click on the Playback Devices it shows ATI HDMI Output and is saying it is unplugged. i have tried everywhere i could plug in my speakers and have tried different speakers and headphones and yet nothing is working. before i had the graphics card installed i had a Realtek sound card which is already pre-installed onto the motherboard. i have tried installing a Realtek audio drive onto my ssytem but everytime i restart my system it just keeps showing the ATI HDMI output. i have also tried uninstalling the sound driver from the Device Manager under sound card option. any suggestion? Thanks to all who reply =]

Heyy,
Welcome to Vista forums! :party::party:

I had this problem, here's what worked for me!
  • Open windows media player, and from the drop-down in the library tab, click more options.
  • Click the devices tab, and then double click speakers.
  • Click advanced, then click the onboard sound device, mine is Realtek High Definition Audio.
  • Right click the selected device, and from the menu, click set as default device.
  • Click ok.

You should now have sound!

Hope this helps!
Daniel ;)
