Default Onboard Realtek HD + HD 2600XT = missing sound device
Hi all
I've run into a pretty serious problem...The onboard sound (Realtek HD) stops working when the graphics card (Diamond HD2600XT) is in the PCIe slot. Everything works fine when onboard sound is used. I tried a few driver versions, including the latest 8.3 catalysts, nothing helps. When the graphics card is installed Windows (XP MCE) does not even detect ANY audio devices. When the graphics card is removed everything is back to normal and the sound chip is detected as usual. Before installing ATI drivers, Driver Cleaner Pro and Driver Sweeper were run, and I even tried it after a clean Windows install.

Does anyone have any idea of whats going on?

The rest of the system consists of:
E6300, stock
Asus mobo, not a retail one, but made for HP ( P5bw-la I think)
2Gb generic ram
Happauge WinTV150 Tuner
Dlink Wireless adapter (PCI)
LG Combo HD/Bluray drive
Seagate 320 7200.9 HD
Antec 430W PSU

Thanks!
