Do you have audio drivers for your new video card? Do you have the control panel set to use your new video card audio support?

Not sure where to find them, I installed the drivers from the cd that it came with, not sure on the control panel thing, but when i go to "sound" in control panel, it shows all 4 things are working properly, but clearly they aren't There are some drivers installing now we'll see if that hopefully fixes the issue.

And on playing on the TV, do i have to change it each time via the computer? I fgured it coudl send the signal to both the monitor and the tv like a dual monitor, and the HDMI cable to the tv could still get sound too.

What card do you have?

Also, this is the wrong forum for this - there is a tech help section.

Oh never know which, its an EVGA GeForce GT 430 1GB DDR3 PCIe (though i think it's PCIE2) I just had a XFX 8600GT 512mb in it with no audio issues. and i just downloaded all the drivers, so unless it fixes when i restart after doing so I have no idea what to do

Is your sound card also Nvidia? Some Mother Boards use Nvidia sound chips.. If that's the case, something might of went wrong when you installed your drivers (like accidentally uninstalling your sound card drivers).

But as pointed out above, try the Tech Support section, you'll probably get more help there.
