it is just impractical to install another sound card when you have a built in, usually new mother borad have a built in soundc ard of 5.1 audio so, hwy do install another one if the latter is working, if not there that is the time you install another one

is it possible that you sound card or setting are set to mono rather than stereo. this would mean that the computer might only be sending signals to one speaker\n\nhope this helps

I'm not surprised.\n\nYou have swapped a fully functioning computer, with speakers, for a motherboard.\n\nYou now need a computer body to put the motherboard into, then add speakers etc and hey presto --- SOUND

well u would need to know the exact model of soundcard you have. u can usally do this by download http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/\n\nthen when it says what soundcard u have to u goto eg google and search for drivers, eg drivers for sb128bit.

make sure u have a separate amplifier for the speakers....u can easily play ur comp audio on the speaker ..u just need to have the right combination of male female connectors wired up....can't say which one for u....and make sure there is proper earthing with the speaker system....best bet will be to get a separate stereo or dolby enabled soundcard.....nowadays they are very cheap....

well if your sure you have a good sound card that supports surround sound. then you need to access your card using device manager and go into properties, better yet i would call tech support for your sound card first and then the speakers support next. peace.

Go your sound card's manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for it. If it's on-board sound, then the motherboard manufacturer is also the sound card's manufacturer

If you are using Internal Audio, there would be 3 ports at the back ( Sound input and output ports) just below the USB ports. And if its way below like below the AGP card. Then You use a Sound a sound card.\n\nAnyway you will need a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor to the stuff you wanna do.

you cant produce true 3D sounds out of just two speakers, for stereo sound you need two speakers to give you a Left/Right, for true 3D sound you will need three additional speakers to give you the effect of surround sound.\nif someone tells you that he can produce surround sound out of a stereo headphone he is lying because that's impossible.

You should be able to plug them into your sound card on the Dell.  The only issue you would have is if the sound card is incompatible with the speaker setup.  For example, you have 5.1 surround sound speakers but the sound card is simply a 2.0 output.\n\nIf they speakers need to be powered, plug them into an outlet and you should be fine.

get some add-on cards also there is no point of installing more speakers because if you install more speakers you will have equal voice on each speaker much lower than your other ones.... so i perfer not to do tat unless your going to set up it somewhere else...

I plugged my computer into an old stereo system and now the walls vibrate. I have to lock the door to keep my wife from killing me when I crank up Ozzie and Crazy Train. It's not your sound card, I have a standard card in my puter. You need an amplifier and better speakers, both are costly. Best Buy will have a system for around two hundred dollars. A word of advice; get it anyway you can, it is just so much more fun!!!

If your sound card only accepts mono you will need to upgrade the card. Try this program first. It will automatically detect your sound cards capabilities and configure itself for maximum performance:\nhttp://www.soundrecorder.net/
