Re: No sound and device manager cannot install a driver
Ha ha! i think i've got it!
OK, the graphics card is HD for use with the HDMI cables and such. ATI carries sound through the video card to output with the HDMI cable so you dont need to run multiple cords. Since this happened when you installed the videocard its clearly that the videocard stole the sound output.
Go to Control Panel and open the Sounds and Audio Devices. Click on the audio/voice tabs and set the output device to your sound card. The videocard drivers set it to "ATI HD Audio Rear Output" while installing.
Try that, let me know

The onboard installation looks like this...

Anyone else have any ideas?

Re: No sound and device manager cannot install a driver
you should have your antivirus and antispyware software turned off while installing drivers.
Did you turn off the onboard sound in your BIOS and forget to turn them back on? You would get that "no device found" error message if it was off.

Or it could be something with the OS. A simple thing you can do is DL ubuntu linux or something then boot it from the CD. You wouldn't have to install it and if it is a windows related issue then you'd know right away.

The ISO for Ubuntu is almost a gigabyte though. But I'm gonna put it on my new machine when I build it.

I am going to do a re-install of XP tonight after I get paid for working on my friends computer.
