PC sound cards

James,

Are the sound jacks part of the main set of connections like this?

This is onboard sound, whereby the sound card is integrated into the motherboard.

Or are they further down the case, seperated, looking like this?

This is seperate, and the sound card is an additional plug-in card.

Either one can be changed for a new one (you can disable the on-board Audio and use your own separtate card) as long as you have the available free slots.

If you have the slots - I probably have a spare PCI (white slot) sound card in my "spares box" you can have.

well I tried to take a photo but my camera is playing up now :roll:

It looks more like the top picture on both pc's of mine.

If you do have a spare one kicking around that would be fab. Surely you would want something for it?

Is it for your XP PC?  I have the card, but need to get the drivers.  If it's going into an XP machine, then XP will probably already have the drivers (I will test it).  98 however will be clueless without the software.

PM me your address, and I will test the card to be 100% sure it's working okay.  No cost.  It's been sat in my spares box for about a year.  :wink:

It will be for my XP machine as the win 98 sound is fine.

Pm sent. Thanks very much.

No problem.  Found the driver CD too, so you should be covered for either machine.

Tested OK in a Win2K PC I have on my workbench - so I'll post it off today.
