About 5 years ago I bought a no-name brand computer running XP. After several days use my sound volume went down to the point that I could barely hear anything with the volume cranked all the way. I called the manufacturer and told them about this and they said if I shipped it back they would send me another. I decided not to go this route since I would have to pay the $40 shipping charge and had already invested a lot of time installing apps. I bought a sound blaster card for $15 and installed it. In order to get it to work I had to go to Device Manager and disable the SiS drivers (which were for the onboard system) and install the sound blaster drivers. Every so often it would revert to the old drivers when I rebooted but I solved that by using the uninstall command instead. I've had to format and reinstall Windows several times now and wondered why the sound was so bad until I remembered the card and had to go through the process again. May I ask why you want to install a sound card? Engineman In a message dated 12/6/2008 9:23:06 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I would like to know, what would happen if I installed a secondary sound card in my system, besides the onboard sound system that comes with the motherboard of my computer?
