i just got the ati card and when i put it in downloaded everything i dont have sound!
Another thing to consider. I've seen where systems have both built-in audio as well as an add-in card such as a Sound Blaster. It's easy to plug the speaker cable into the wrong port, even for the most savvy user or technician. I've seen that happen often at my work. As the other poster said, it would be helpful to have more details on your system.
