Need a Sound Card

[Guest RyanH]

Well after a few days and many reinstalls, downgrades, and headaches I'm

pretty sure that the soundcard on the motherboard is fried, broken, or

something else I can't think of. Connceting headphones or speakers through

the back jack gives me no sound at all and if I connect through the fron jack

I only get audio in the left speaker/headphone. So now I guess I'll just have

to go out and buy a soundcard. Now that I have XP again this shouldn't be a

problem right? So any suggestions for basic everyday playback? (Preferably

something I could just go pick up at like best buy or circuit city tommorrow)

A simple Soundblaster (Creative) will do. :)

Remove drivers\devices from Hardware Manager and shutdown before you

attempt to install a new card, and disable the onboard audio in your

computer's BIOS before you boot back into Windows after removing the

driver/devices.

My suggestion is you do your research and find what you WANT and can

AFFORD.

 

Your post has nothing to do with the OS, so ask in a hardware group.
