in your motherbord bios, turn the audio device to enabled/on. If you leave it on auto the "sound card" on the video card will make the automatic one on the motherboard turn off.

try play with "memory remap", and rest IO-related/IOAPIC/IOMMU-relate tweaks in BIOS of you motherboard.
sometimes weird manipulations like playing with PCI latency, turning ACPI off[for 32-bit OS'es Only], MSI's, C1e, C&Q, TurboBoost and other "eye candy" things.
and/or upgrade/rollback/mod[its modular and highly customizable] firmware/BIOS itself.

Being me i would revert back to the last working condition or reinstall windows. Fast and simple solution compared to hours and days and weeks of troubleshooting.

Check if theres a header/jumper (usually the second) on your motherboard that turns on/off hdmi audio out. Also check where your front panel header is connected to, if that is where you are getting your sound from, you might have plugged it into the wrong 12 pin header (usually something along the lines of FNT_PNL, rather than AC97).

So about a week ago i installed my shiny new 6950 to start mining and i noticed that i no longer had sound. So, i googled around a bit and tried a couple different fixes: changed onboard audio from auto to enabled, reinstalled drivers, uninstalled drivers, etc. But i still havent had any luck. My "Playback Devices" in windows shows only the hdmi audio from the video card ("ATI DP Output"). SCII for a week with no sound = Cry

. Any thoughts?
