No sound after new videocard installation.

I assumed that you may have had on board graphics. My fault. But if you had time and feel like it, you COULD uninstall the drivers and reseat the video card then reinstall.

I have tried uninstalling the drivers alot of times already. When I attempted to reset my BIOS by removing a battery inside the box, I had to take out my videocard too. So technically I have done that. Is there any way I could get dirrect support? From teamviewer or something like that?

Sorry I don't do such a thing ... maybe someone else does but they usually want $$

Then do you have any idea what else can I do to try and fix this?

if you don't feel like dealing with it anymore you can buy a sound card. It can be PCI sound card, or even they have USB sound cards now. If you do this remember to go in BIOS and disable onboard audio.

I'm not sure if sound cards are cheap in Lithuania assuming you are there, but this should fix your problem. Your motherboard audio just may not be compatible and is conflicting with the card.

just had an idea, what happens if you uninstall all those "nvidia high definition audio" entries in the device manager? Try that.

Or better yet double click on them and see if they sport any options. Possibly a way to disable hdmi audio is key.

I tried looking in my BIOS for things. I went in Intergrated Perihaps (or something like that) and chose onboard devices. My memory (or something) was set to SHADOW, USB mouse support was set to disabled ( I think). There was Realtek AC97, it was set to auto (I only had the auto and disabled option aviable) There was also somesort of Nvidia LAN device (which also had auto and disabled option).

If it is anything like any of the others I have come across like that the only option is to add a cheap sound card to get sound back if not using the HDMI audio from the video card. Reason being is that thanks to the idiot computer (HP's are good for this) or motherboard manufacturer only having Auto and Disabled as options for the onboard sound, the bios sees the "sound card" on the video card and treats it as such and disables the onboard sound with no way to manually enable it.

I have uninstalled the drivers before, whenever I restart my computer, it keeps popping up with the "Found new hardware" (4times). Thanks for the suppor though.

Any clue how I could use the HDMI audio with my computer? I have a headset and a 6piece speaker set. And I'm using a screen monitor not a tv. How could that work? Do I need extra cables?

I feel like giving up, as it has been going for weeks, I can't entertain myself without sound on the computer. My budget can't allow me to buy anything at the moment either :/
