    Help needed! ATI Radeon 4650 is blocking my onboard audio :(

    I am REALLY desperate.

    I've been working on this for over 6 hours and I come to you on my fucking knees!

    I can't get any audio out of my system (it was working fine before I changed a power supply.) Everything is working fine now, except no audio.

    I didn't change any settings, not sure why this is happening.

    ASUS P5QSE mother board has nice built in audio. But the ATI Radeon 4650 graphics card is cock blocking the audio, cause it has it's own HD Audio.

    I've read many blogs about it (lots of people having the same problem with this card) and have done everything they said.
    ie:

    1) disabled the ATI Radeon audio in the device manager
    2) bios: set the audio to "enable" to force the inboard audio.
    3) set default audio to "Realtek HD Audio Output"
    4) uploaded every driver known.

    It's nothing physical, all wires and speakers tested, no prob there.

    When I click on Windows Player, it plays, but no sound.

    I am beyond stumped and freaked out that I wasted so much time on this.

    Please help me Obi Wan Kenobi!!!!!

    Look for a device in device manager something like Radeon HDMI, and disable that.

        I found it under: Display Adapters. but if I turn that off, won't it shut down my monitors?

        I already shut down the: ATI HDMI Audio, and still no luck.

          It read: ATI Radeon HD 4650 under the section of:
          Display adapters.

            Ati drivers have always sucked, search google for a work around. Best of luck!

              thanks, yeah I think I'm really screwed. The weird thing is the audio was working fine for months.... only after I changed out the power supply, it went nuts. Something must have defaulted back to an original setting somewhere in the bios.

              I've downloaded and read hours of blogs and installed drivers and I'm coming up short. I'm really stumped.

                Then it is a bios issue, go read every line and see if you can't relate it. Maybe you enabled the onboard soundcard?

                  Yes, I did Enable the onboard sound card. That's what the blogs said to do.
                  I think the goal was to turn off the audio part of the ATI card, and force the computer to use the onboard audio card.

                  Maybe I should Disable the onboard card? maybe it thinks the ATI is the onboard audio card? I'm so clueless...

                      same results. doing that closed down all audio programs.

                      I think it has to remain enabled and I have to find a way to disable the ATI audio properties. ...which I have in the device manager, but still not working. very maddening.

                            NP, man. Almost seems like you have to pick up at least a cheap sound card.

                              Go to control panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio tab

                              Make sure default device is the correct one.

                                I think I see your problem, you bought an ATI card instead of an Nvidia, ha ha.

                                On a serious note, did you ever get it fixed yet ??

                                  I'm having the same problem with my HD4650, except my soundcard is an EMU 0404 which I use to record my music.

                                  Since I installed the 4650, Sonor can no longer find the EMU card.
