The factory PC output.
1st let me say thanks for your help guys. I just uninstalled and removed the video card and now the sound works.
Last night I installed the card according to instructions and then downloaded the drivers. When it was all done the sound was gone. No sounds at all. When I looked in the device manager under the Sound, Video and game controllers it has my video card listed. Its says ATI audio..... My factory Realtek AC97 audio is not listed there anymore. Now according to the box this card has a "Built in HDMI with HDCP and 5.1 surround audio (optional with the ATI Radeon DVI to HDMI adapter)" I do not have that adapter nor does my TV or stereo have an HDMI input. Help

That's a video card . I guess we need some details on what you're doing. You need a way to get audio out of the computer. That means using the onboard audio (on the mobo) or a pci card. I use a diamond pci audio card that sends an optical signal to my tuner which does the decoding.

if you select the ATI sound driver in the device manager and get properties, you should be able to click disable this device. I'm running that card w/o the sound, using the sound from my pci card, so I know it'll work. Windows just needs a lot of guidance.

I saw where you can disable the ATI sound driver, but how do I enable the original sound card? It isnt listed anymore.

you should be getting a "new hardware found" wizard box- if not, you can scan in the device manager window which should bring it up. Or look for the yellow "?" - sometimes it shows it in another category. The driver should be backed up somewhere in an OS directory since it was an OE install, so let it "automatically" install. If not, then you'll need the driver disk that came with the computer, or go to the site, find your computer and download the driver.

I got it guys.
I disabled the ATI audio card in the Device manager. Restarted the PC and went into setup while booting. I had to change the factory audio from auto to enable and now it works.
Thanks again for your time and help.
