HD 4650 sound problem

Hello,
I installed an HD 4650 video card and now my sound icon does not even show up on my task bar. XP sp3

install/update drivers.

Nope, that doesn't work, had to remove the HD driver, it was taking over the system sound driver. It's working now though.

follow steps:
click on start button
open the control panel
open sound and audio devices
you will see mute and "plac volume icon in task bar" just check the box and apply then closed you will see now.

That's the advice I got before, but when you go to open audio devices, it shows no audio devices detected. The HD audio was taking over the system audio. When I removed the HD audio driver, the system driver showed up again.

How long has this been going on? You COULD try a system restore but that would be only if the problem is in the software.

Oh wait this happened right after upgrading to the 4650?

Yes, I fixed it already, it happened when I installed the drivers from the CD that came with the 4650, apparently if you are not hooked up to an HD monitor then you do not want to install the HD audio portion of the driver that comes with the CD.

gottcha enjoy the card!

Not really, it was a replacement under the lifetime warranty for XFX for a 8600 card, not as great.
