Hi Everyone,

I have a NEW MSI 860A-G46 motherboard.  I had recently upgraded my graphics card on that board from a Nvidia Gt240 to a Radeon HD6850, and as such I DECIDED to get rid of all my Nvidia drivers and put only the ATI drivers.  I was glad I had everything working, but after all was said and done, I realized I no longer had sound.

I do rememember when deleting the Nvidia drivers, there was an audio driver Nvidia had on my system, and I am pretty sure removing that driver had an effect.  I put in my motherboard disk and installed the Realtek HD Audio chipset drivers, and they installed fine, but I still have no sound.  I am wondering why this is?  I am plugging my speaker into the "Line Out" port in the back where it was PREVIOUSLY.  The speakers are detected on Windows, and I see audio is being sent, but I hear nothing.  All my volumes are up.

Do you think I should just put the Nvidia audio drives back on and see if that works, or should I find a way to keep my ATI drivers since my motherboard is an ATI/AMD compatible device?If there's no nvidia device then no, nvidia drivers are not needed. Open device manager - any yellow or red symbols?Well, device manager said the audio drivers were there too.  Guess all it needed was a REINSTALL.  As a side note, Nvidia won't take me back with its drivers because I don't have a nvidia device any longer  Quote from: Darthgumby on December 02, 2011, 05:45:54 PM
