I have my new(used) PC up and running. It's an HP Compaq dc5850. I put windows 7 on it which runs great but I can't get audio drivers to install from HP's website. Any ideas?

I should mention I just installed an ATI HD 5770 gfx card. It's showing only ATI hd audio (hdmi) but I don't know how to make it select the installed card on the motherboard it won't even show it under system hardware.

It doesn't show up at all under device manager? Even if you search for new hardware?

It definitely won't be able to install until it is recognized by your system.

I did a little looking around and found that after putting in the new gfx card the audio was disabled in the bios. I don't know why it did that. Have it working now but man that's annoying.
