Looking at the Radeon 9550 info page
(http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9550/), down near the bottom it
says:
"Driven with the industry leading stability and reliability of ATI's
Catalyst(r) certified driver suite"

So I wouls assume that if you download Catalyst
(https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=640) you
will get the drivers.

Did you change slots for the Sound card? Are there any IRQ Conflicts?

Try looking at some of the troubleshooting FAQs from Turtle Beach
