After cleaning my old PC out and installing a PNY Geforce 210 in it, my sound stopped working. It's only showing 4 HDMI Audio devices. I tried displaying the disabled displays but nothing else appears. I'm wondering how I can re-enable my onboard and front audio panels without removing the 210.

Computer:
Compaq Presario SR2177CL with aforementioned Geforce 210.

I'm currently able to get sound with a Logitech USB Adapter but I'd still like to fix this issue eventually.
 
Solution
Installing a new graphics card that incorporates a sound-chip (as does the PNY GeForce 210) can disable the on-board sound-chip, so you may need to re-enable it in the computer's BIOS Setup utility.

See this (different HP model, but the same remedy applies): http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-PC-Sound-and-Audio-Reply-Only/no-sound-after-installing-geforce-210-video-card-in-hp/td-p/826791

Note: accessing the BIOS Setup utility on your particular HP model may require pressing a different key to that shown on the above HP support page).

I hope it fixes your problem.

It worked. The 210 doesn't have any audio so I didn't expect it to be a BIOS issue. It was exactly as it was stated in the link you gave me. Thank you very much.
