Need help with sound card
I have a new 506GR 3.2 computer with onboard sound. I would like to use my
soundblaster sound card and sub woofer/speakers from my previous computer for a better sound system. I disabled the sound card in the bios and removed the drivers from the onboard card and installed the new card with the latest drivers but I do not get any sound. Does anyone have any advice? |

Have you checked to see if it is muted in the sound panel settings? I've had it spontaneously mute itself. Mellow |

If you are not getting any sound from your CD/DVD drive it may be because
you failed to disconnect the line from the drive - with the little plastic clip on it - from the MB and connect it to your new sound card.

Check Control Panel, Sound & Audio Devices, Volume tab. Click all buttons and make sure all choices make sense for your new config. Go to Audio and Voice tabs and make sure your new card is selected as the default device (check that check box). "Dale & Joanne" wrote in message news:FDBce.36795$NU4.5564@attbi_s22...

The wording in this post is a little confusing. The audio cable should be
connected from the CD/DVD to the new sound card. The old setup would have had it going from the CD/DVD to the motherboard. "Ken" wrote in message ...

Also you may want to check if it's digital or analog output, depending on
your speakers. Jim "Dale & Joanne" wrote in message news:FDBce.36795$NU4.5564@attbi_s22... I have a new 506GR 3.2 computer with onboard sound.

Bingo!!! Of course it would be helpful to know what the sound card is that
the OP put in. |

Also keep in mind that some of the Boston Accoustics (I think, but could
have been another brand) sub & speaker combos had an odd problem with power circuitry that would cause them to stay in a "protected" (er non-functional) mode while all outward appearances (LEDs) would indicate normal functionality. To resolve, it would usually take unplugging the power for about 30 seconds. |

If your previous machine was a Gateway and you have BA735 Speakers, those
speakers only work with a digital line out signal. You have to enable digital output in the sound card properties for them to work.
