I would advise installing the UAA drivers (kb888111) first and then install the soundcard drivers afterwards.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsDear Experts,
Just bought new display card to replace the onboard one, but no sound come from AV amplifier
via HDMI connection
Config:
motherboard: Intel DG965RY
display: Gigabyte ATI 4550
OS: XP (SP2)
Drivers intalled as sequence:
1) INTEL HD Audio Driver (original)
2) ATI Display Driver (new installed)
3) ATI HD Audio Driver (new installed)
4) XP patch HD audio driver(kb888111xpsp2-ch) (new installed)
Once I installed the latest drivers, I choose "ATI HD audio rear output" "5.1/7.1system" as
my sound device and speaker type respectively, but nothing works finally. I can't find any
prompt regarding "HDMI/SPDIF/Digital" further.
TV screen works well, but I hear nothing either from AV amplifier or computer speaker. I am
sure both my amplifier config and HDMI cable works well as I tried with DVD player already.
Would you please comment what can I do in order to fix it up, many thanks!
Regards
Stanley

Hmm...I would think you still needed a sound card device in order to pass through sound. Take a look at this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co
>If you plan on using the HDMI cable, make sure that you have the audio from your sound card plugged into the video card. There will be a connection somewhere on the card.
Cables are no longer necessary - audio is transmitted via the PCI-e bus, just like audio from the CDROM drive is transmitted through the IDE or SATA interface.
>Because I wonder the release year was 2004 from device manager, was it still the old one?
The kb888111 fix actually dates from 2004-2005, so I think that's ok.

try uninstalling the intel HD drivers and updaing the ATI driver or downgrading the drivers.
Also disable the Intel HD auido in bios after uninstalling drivers.
