if you have problems instalin this under win7 as a few already have then all you need to do is open the inf file in driver folder and delete the NTx86 6.1 at this point in the file

[Manufacturer]
%ATI% = ATI.Mfg, NTx86.6.0, NTx86.6.1

then just use device manager to do an manual install sorry but so far this is the only way to get them to install

I have an HIS HD 3650 - AGP. Is this update suppose to work for me? I've downloaded it from the website for XP and 3600 series. Is this the right package? I've installed the package that came on the CD, but I have no audio out of the hdmi anymore. Initially, before installing the drivers, and I guess just using windows drivers, I have audio from the hdmi port. After installation, no audio. There's nothing in device manager showing an extra audio device either.

Please help.

Thanks.
