My SoundBlaster AudioPCI 128D has failed. I just installed a ATI Radion 8500 DV and now I cannot play CD's and the microphone does not work. Speakers ok as TV & internet sound is good. Have not checked for loose wires but is this a possibility?

Have you tried moving the audio card to a different pci slot?
On many boards there are pci slots that conflict with the agp. You might have to experiment.
