I have just looked at the specs and it does say built in 5.1 sound, if I remember rightly not all leads carry audio, do yours?

Looking a bit more at this, have you changed your sound device to "ATI HD sound decoder"

 

[gazz496]

yes the leads do carry sound or at least should will check with a my dvd player not sure about the decoder i'll browse the catalyst and check my drivers again

ok it have 3 choices on sound they all say HD sound 1 say's HDMI but none of them refer to ATI would that matter ?

 

[z3r010]

Check control panel->sound and see if you have ati audio listed, if so try setting it to default.

 

[z3r010]

Try them all as default one by one
