Installed New VGA Card and Lost Audio

(Please forgive my ignorance or stupidity when it comes to any computer knowledge.  In 'Layman's Terms', I am what you would call an idiot when it comes to computers, sorry...)
I just installed MSI VGA Card 'MD512D3', 512MB, DDR3 onto my HP Pavillion a1710n desktop computer that is running Windows 7 and after the installation, the first thing that I noticed was the fact that all of my computer's audio had disappeared.  I have been trying to trouble shoot the problem through various forums and I have tried pretty much every single solution that had been given to others with the same sort of problem.  But then it occurred to me, why don't I uninstall the new VGA card and run the computer without it like I had been doing before.  so I did the uninstallation and immediately, the audio drivers appeared in my Windows update and so now I have audio again on my computer.  But my question is this, the audio that I was using prior(and here is one of the times that you will need to forgive my ignorance), I believe they were analog.  The best way that I could describe them is that they had the connections to the computer that were color coordinated, i.e. "green" "pink" "blue", etc and I was primarily just using the "green" connection for basic stereo sound(nothing fancy).  I just happened to look at the box for the new VGA card and it specifies that it has HDMI Output which, if I am not mistaken, is a digital output that requires a completely different connection.  Can someone explain to me(in the most BASIC of terms), if this is, in fact, a digital output that requires a different set of speakers for audio or if I am able to use the 'analog' speakers that I currently have?  Now, keep in mind that I would LOVE to just go out and purchase the most expensive and up to date audio products but I am limited by my income...thanks in advance for any information that you are able to provide me...Dan

The card supports Audio via HDMI. If you connect it via HDMI to a screen with speakers or speakers connected to the screen which is connected via HMDI the Nvidia HD audio is used. If Scrren has no speakers Nvidia HD audio can't be used. It should then use the soundcard or onboard sound of your board which the spreakers are connected to.

  • HP Special Edition L2000 --Installed Win7Home Edition- 64bit and lost audio.

    Installed Win7 Home Edition --64bit  on my HP Special Edition L2000 and lost audio.  Speaker icon has red X, and when hover over it, the text says "No Audio Output Device is installed".  (The previous operating system was XP-Pro, 32-bit).
    Have tried the driver update --SP30399.exe for the Conexant.   Scan shows no audio device at all, but no hardware has been changed.  Suggestions?
    Thanks,KBos

    Hello KBos,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you've upgraded the OS to Windows Vista from XP. That now you're having an Audio issue. I will try to help you with this.
    The driver update that you've run, was for XP. This could be why it never helped. On the HP site, there's no Audio Driver update for Windows.
    You can take a look at the following documents to see if what they suggest can  help you with resolving the issue.

  • Installed new '08 update and lost my '08 files

    So, I had played with designing an '06 before iLIfe '08 arrived. I installed '08 and got a few days into creating a new site. Things are going well...
    Today, I installed the update which said something about working with '06 stuff. Now, I open iWeb and it is back to my '06 stuff from a couple weeks ago.
    (I tried looking at the .sites2 -- found it, opened it and it was the '06 one. I guess this update "fixed" that.)
    I really need to get my '08 stuff back help

    First make a new folder on your desktop, go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb, copy the domain file and paste it into the new folder. You can put it in your Home folder and call it "iWeb Domain" or something exciting.
    If you have an external drive you can back it up there.
    You can download Apple's Backup 3 from .Mac and set it up to automatically backup your domain file - or anything else - to your iDisk.
    Login to .Mac at ....
    http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/wa/login?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
    ..... click Backup - just below the calendar in the left column - where you can read all about it and download the application.
    You can set it to auto backup at any time interval you want and also backup manually by launching the application every time you make major changes to your website.

  • I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??

    Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
    When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first.

  • Installed Mountain Lion and lost audio

    Installed Mountain Lion and lost audio.
    How do I get it back?!

    1. Open Activity Monitor.app (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app)
    2. Select ‘All Processes’ from the drop down menu next to the search bar (called ‘Filter:’) and type in ‘coreaudio’.
    3. Select the process name and click the ‘Quit Process’ button at the top. Chose ‘Quit’ or ‘Force Quit’ from the resulting dialogue box.
    The coreaudio process will automatically restart itself (if you look closely at the PID number in Activity Monitor you’ll notice it changes after you hit ‘Quit’) and your sound problems should be solved.

  • No Signal after installing new graphics card

    Hello and thanks in advance for your help!  
    We have a 2yr old HP p6540y.  It has an ATI integrated Video Card. When we recently turned it on, we got a 'no signal' message on the monitor and then it would go to sleep.  We have tried several things to fix...listed below, in order, and are still getting the same message.  Please advise!
    1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI.  So we unplugged and restarted, no change.
    2) Checked monitor and DVI & VGA cords with another computer: They all work.
    3) Installed new Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610.  Still got same 'no signal' message. 
    4) We plugged/unplugged all other cards/cords/anything we could and cleaned out.  Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long....
    5) After restarting computer after installation of graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again.  We once again, pulled out other cards/plugs and again the monitor/computer came to life.
    6) We unistalled the integrated ATI graphic card.  When we go to Display, Advanced Options, it lists our new NVIDIA as graphic/display card.
    7) We turned computer off overnight and this morning when we turned on, we once agin got the 'no signal' message.  We unplugged/plugged computer in several times.  Also tried the trick with pulling out cards/plugs and we got nothing.  No Signal.  After doing this several times (about 10), it finally worked again.  
    8) We changed sleep settings to: Screensaver=Never; Sleep Mode=Never.  
    9)  We restarted again to once again get no signal message.
    So...what do we need to do?
    Thanks so much!

  • Updated iMovie on my brand new mac mini and lost "SPEED" function.

    Updated iMovie on my brand new Mac Mini and lost "SPEED" function.

    Hello bbryson68, I'm sure you've just over-looked it.
    The answer is to click on Adjust above the Clip in Viewer, this will bring into view a adjustments bar also above the Clip.
    Now you just have to select the speed via the Turtle icon. Once the clip has been speed-up or down, you'll get a Slider
    over the clip in question & a Rabbit icon indicating the clip has been speed-up.
    If you want to  keep audio undistorted check the Preserve Pitch checkbox above the viewer.
    The Clip Slider & icon of Rabbit appear in the Clip-Trimer window below the main Clip, also check your Pref's to see if you have
    Apply Slow Motion checked? This will slow or speed up all other clips to the first clip.

  • I put a new sim card and a new number on this phone but for some reason it is paired with a Lady who can read all my texts how do i fix this

    i put a new sim card and a new number on this phone but for some reason it is paired with a Lady who can read all my texts how do i fix this?

    You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage.  Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).  Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

  • Qosmio G10 with new graphic card and pcb - Tools CD Update doesn't work

    Hi everybody
    I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 back from the support, because the notebook didn't work anymore. So I get it back with a new Grafic card and a new PCB. With my Notebook I get a CD which is called update Tool CD-Rom and an instruction sheet, where it says that you have to boot with this update Tool CD-Rom after you had installed the Windows with the reovery CD.
    So I made it, but when I know put the update Tool CD-Rom in and I boot with it, the computer installs something but after a short while there comes a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to shut down the Notebook. So i made it but the Windows doesn't start.
    Why is that so? I had everything done which was said on the instruction sheet.
    Please help me

    Hello
    It will be interesting to find out more about this update Tool CD-Rom. Is there Toshiba label? Can you please write what is described there?

  • Problem with installing new line card 7600-SSC-400

    Hi all,
    I have a trouble when trying to install new line card 7600-SSC-400 on Cisco 6509. Here was the message displays on the screen after I finished installing the line card : "%C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 7, power not allowed: The image for the card is not bundled in image." I tried to install this line card on another slot, but it doesn't work. The attched item is logfile which I saved in the installing session. I don't know what I hvae to do now, please help me to resolve this problem !
    Thanks so much,
    Hieu

    Hi Hieu,
    You might want to run the following to see more detail of the error:
    show diagnostic result module all detail
    And I would also suggest that you reseat the 7600-SSC-400 line card firmly back to the switch, and check the status again.
    If it's still showing the error, maybe you can try seating the module on a different slot, and check if you have the same issue.
    If the issue still persist after reseating and testing it on different slot, then it might be a hardware issue, and you might want to open a TAC case to further investigate it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Installing new SIM card

    I've been having service trouble with my iPhone. Randomly, it'll say that i have no service when everyone else, including other iPhone users, have service. I went to a ATT store, and they provided me with a new SIM card and told me to replace my old one and that I'd still have all of my contacts and information since the iPhone backs itself up thru iTunes. I installed the new SIM card and plugged my phone to my computer, and it prompted me to make a new account and purchase the service (which I had already done the first day i got the phone back in december) can anyone help me replace the SIM card without having to pay for a hwhole new account?

    i know that it asks if i'm an existing AT&T customer or if im new. I always say that I'm an existing customer and it stills asks me to sign up like I did the first time I got my phone. So do you not remember how you replaced your SIM card without having to purchase a whole new plan?

  • Help.......I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS

    I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS.  In the collections i get the messageI then locate the file in the new drive :
    i locate the file and receive this message
    How can i get the Collection to redirect to the new location??   I have about  a LOT of missing pics in Collections. 
    Thank you!  Jamie

    Thank your for responding.......
    To clarify....I moved LIGHTROOM to a new hard drive....including 1) Working catalogs, 2) Working exports, and 3) Working Originals.  I now know i did not follow correct procedure for "moving a catalog".  I dragged  it to the new hard drive. Yikes!!
    (I was at Imaging last week and spoke to Julianne Kost, she recommended that i use the FIND link....but this gave me the same result as i am speaking about above.)
    To Clarify......The Collections are listed. The target path to the images did not change when i moved to the new hard drive.
    There is an exclamation point in the right hand corner of the images in each collection.  When i click on the exclamation mark i get the message....."“JK_120214_7782.NEF” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I then locate the file IN THE NEW current DRIVE...at which time i click on it and i receive the message.....
    this file is associated with another photo in the catalog.... each file can only be associated with one photo.  Then if i choose to show in library....it points to the image in the FOLDER  tab...which is in fact where the image is located. 
    Up to this point, when i need one of these older collections i have had to recreate.  i have manually gone to the original.....in the FOLDER tab, found the image and added to the Collections again.  Then i go back and delete all the files with the ! ......a long and tedious task.  I was hoping there was an easier way to recreate my "collections".
    Initially i was going to just MOVE the entire library again ( the correct way) ....which i should've done i believe.  Now i have imported more jobs and have created additional collections , so i'd love to find a short cut!
    I hope this is a bit more clear!!
    Thank you.

  • Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer but unable to get bookmarks from old drives to new.

    Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer, installed firefox however I have no idea in which file the old bookmarks are located. I still have the old files for firefox in the old drives.

    Your "Firefox personal data", like bookmarks, are stored in your Profile folder in Firefox. See this support article about how to recover that data from that old hard drive and transfer it your your new Profile.
