Replacing a sound card for a dell dimension 3000

Hi.

Click on the link below and download the driver for the card, if you are unsure then click on the Supported Products tab and you will see that the FX 5500 card is supported in the download.

From a general look on Dells website your computer only supports PCI style cards. You might have a completely different style of motherboard in there depending on when your PC was made. The only way to know whats truely inside your computer is to look up the Service Tag that is on the outside of the case. You can also take the side cover off (after you unplug the computer) and look inside if the motherboard (towards the bottom) in there only has 3 Cream colored slots on it then it only supports PCI cards.

The sound card is on the mother board, but you can buy a PCI sound card and install it in one of the empty whit slots on the mother board.
I am not sure but you may need to dissable the onboard sound before you install the add in replacement sound card.
You can ask dell support if you need to do this, [email protected]
Good luck. I hope this helps. Have a good day.

GO TO DELL WEB SITE AND DOWNLOAD THE SOUND DRIVERS FOR YOUR COMPUTER USING THE SERVICE TAG NUMBER FROM THE STICKER ON THE SIDE OR BACK OF YOUR COMPUTER. INSTALL THE DRIVERS AND REBOOT.

Hi

Dell Dimension 3000 accepts IDE hard drive. Any modern IDE drive should be fine

Check out Dell Dimension 3000 Service Manual for spec and how to remove and install parts.

use the dell website

www.dell.com

Is the video card built into the motherboard? If not you can try replacing just the video card to see if that works. Otherwise I am afraid you may have to replace the motherboard.

Dimension 3000 accepts only regular PCI cards according to the Dell site.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the sound card drivers?
