Help I cant hear audio after installing new graphics card!
So I just got a new ATI Radeon HD 4850 and after putting it in I uninstalled my old drivers but I may have uninstalled my old audio drivers but once I installed my new drivers for my new graphics card (including audio drivers) I still can not hear sound and it says no audio devices connected

Are you sure that is the same driver for your graphic card and audio? try to remove and reinstal... even make a hardware test (removing fisically the audio device), turn all on so the windows can identify the empty slot, shut down, plug agian and turn on... make sure to use the latest driver on the manufacturer site... if it doesn't help, try to get any linux distro and run the hardware test (this is the ultimate test you can do)... if it recognizes your audio card then is a windows error, if doesn't check with a new audio card...
GL on that.
But I didnt touch the audio card all I did was put in a new graphics card. And where can I get this test?

Do you have Vista and was your old video card a nVidia? If so you will need to install new drivers as specified above because of how Sound is processed through Vista and how each company dealt with it.
Yes my old card was a nivida and no I am not using Vista I am using XP

the hardware test is on the first disk of any linux distro... you just run like if you were about to install (is the first step).
The hardware test on windows might be a little faster for you... take off your audio card and turn on the puter (windows should refresh your hardware config and see that there is no audio card anymore). Turn off the puter, plug the audio card again and turn on... if you did removed the driver and never noticed, after leading the windows you will get a "new hardware found" window... proceed with the install and see if it works (try changing the slot). If it doesn't work you have a hardware issue on your audio card... yes, sometimes it's random...
lol wheres my audio card Ive never had to change it

Use it to see your hardware config... if it doesn't find anything you think it's connected or working nice, it's not... you also will know the model if your stuff and will be able to get the latest drivers.
GL.
Ok It says I need to update the drivers for all of these but I dont know where to get them and I have to pay for the thing to tell me where to get them

Ok...
ATI: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
nVidia: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
all you need is to find your drivers in there.... pretty simple.
GL.
But on the ATI website I cant choose the Radeon HD 4850 as an option to get drivers for

Also in the Sound and Audio devices properties in the control pantel under the hardware tab there is an unkown hardware and when I try and install its drivers its says they are no ment for this platform

sounds like you uninstalled all nvidia products, including your nforce motherboard drivers (inc audio)
you'll need to install these again, this nvidia nforce driver is just for your Motherboard and on-board sound.
then you'll need to get the ATI driver
For the ATI HD4850 drivers you download the most rescent iteration of Catalyst drivers. Just use the link provided when clicking on an HD3850 card.
Whats your sound card?
Edit- Oops forgot to ask the easy question. How many watts does your Power Supply have?
where on the website do I find these drivers?

and how do I know which motherboard driver to download
Currently Playing:nothing Have Played: WoW GW LoTRO Last Chaos Maple story 2 Moons Lunia Perfect World Archlord Silkroad FFXI EQII Vanguard Age of Conan
on here
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
select nforce (this is for you motherboard + onboard audio driver)
as you might not know what motherboard you have, do you have an original CD, or use the Option 2
Option 2: Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products from the link above
if that works, never tried it
edit..
That Option 2 might be for GFX drivers only, you may need to have a look at any Motherboard manuals that came with your PC, this should tell you what nforce version you have. (also need to know if its AMD or Intel)
google the drivers you need... use the manufacturers links...
its an AMD 64 athlon

Currently Playing:nothing Have Played: WoW GW LoTRO Last Chaos Maple story 2 Moons Lunia Perfect World Archlord Silkroad FFXI EQII Vanguard Age of Conan
Ok I think I found it If im right its the nforce series 4

Replaceing the nforce didnt work but I went under audio and sound in the control panel and under the hardware tab I found this [IMG]http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii160/sfwtboy/comp.jpg[/IMG]

it would be good to know your exact mothorboard. do you have your PC spec to hand (when you bought it)
not sure what software would tell you.
