Open up the case and look. You will see one big slot occupied with the video card and four or five slots the same below it. Those are your PCI slots and that is where your sound card goes. You will probably see that the slots each have a matching opening in the back of the case with a protective cover held in place with a small screw. Unplug everything and lay the case on its side when you open it. There may also be a three pin connector that attatches to the card and your main CD or DVD drive. This little cable comes with the sound card.

if you know your sound cards manufacture go to www.driversguide.com and get them you will need to reg. first but it is free. you might get Lucky and try the computers man. web site if it is a on-board sound that means it is built in to the mother board

EASY, \n\n1 turn the computer off.\n\n2. open the case.\n\n3, touch the bare metal to discharge any static that you may have.\n\n4. unplug the powercord from the back of the computer.\n\n5. take the screw out of your old sound card and remove card. save screw.\n\n6. Put New card into slot and replace screw.\n\n7. Replace cover, and plug in.\n\n8. load cd that came with your sound card, and install drivers.\n\nPrice for a 5.1 sound card is around 15.00 to 25.00 depending on Brand and place you purchase.  I would not pay more than 50.00 in a retail store.

Did you check the basics? \n1) after you physically installed it, did Windows detect & install the drivers?\n2) did you plug your speakers into the correct jack, Soundblaster cards are marked with color coded jacks.\nHere are some "general" color codes.\n[black=rear speakers, green=front speakers, pink=microphone, blue=line-in, yellow=digital only]\nThe PCI-128 has only 3 jacks-blue, pink & green.\n3) are your speakers pluged in to an electric outlet\nAfter, you check those things, if no luck. You can email me, if you are not comfortable with the BIOS settings. Which would be where you need to go next, if you have integrated sound on your Motherboard

there are two solutions to this. first, (assuming you are running xp home) open up control panel and select the system icon.  click on the hardware tab, then click on device manager. if your sound card is already installed, it should show up under sound, video and game controllers. the alternative is to remove the panels on the tower and actually look at the sound card itself. if it's built-in the motherboard, (not a card plugged into a slot) you need to find out the make and model of the motherboard and check out the manufacturer's info.

hmm. that's easy. just plug the wires to the green and pink circles at the back of your pc. green for the headphone and pink for the microphone. if it came with a cd then you should install it first.

Open your control panel and double-click "system". Click on the hardware tab and then "Device manager". In Device manager, expand "Sound and video game controllers" to view your audio devices. Anything with a big yellow question mark by it needs a driver.\nIf you have onboard audio you will find the driver on the disk that came with your motherboard. If you have a soundcard it will be on the disk for that.\nYou can search to find the drivers online, but make sure to get them from the manufacturor and not just some site with all kinds of drivers.

It goes in the microphone slot on the back of the PC. Should be color coded.

you need to downlad and install the drivers for the sound card. Right click on the My Computer icon on the start menu or desktop, whereever it is, go to properties, and click. go to hardware, system devices. You sound card or it might say audio device will have a little yellow mark next to it. double click it and go to drivers, and update drivers. make sure you are online, and it should find the drivers for it

Reinstall the driver.  If this doesn't work, open the computer and remove the soundcard from it's port.  This is assuming that it goes tinto an expansion port such as PCI or PCI express.  If it's integrated (built into the motherboard), then you'll need to figure out the model and make of your card (try running DxDiag)and download the drivers.  \n\nThen right-click my computer, and select properties.  Go to the tab called devices and select device manager.  From here, remove the sound card and its drivers and then reboot the system.  Once the system has turned back on reinstall the drivers which you should have downloaded.\n\nHope this helps

Simple .. Open the side of the case pop the sound card in one of the PCI slots (White slots about 10-15CM long) all PCI cards will fit all PCI slots , if its a desktop case make sure to get a half height card.
