Why my sound card is not working - Computers & Internet

1st you disable the onboard sound card in BIOS level, then install/update the sound driver for Maddog Prowler 4.1 DSP soud card will solve your problem.

change it

Well, the short answer to your question is "No, it won't work". The Dell Dimension 4600 does not have any PCI Express slots in it, therefore you can't install it, and therefore it won't work. But, if you installed a PCI sound card, it would work. The BIOS would recognize the add-on sound card, disable the onboard sound, and your sound will start going through the expansion card instead. Hope this helps.

Ted, the first thing you should do is go into your computer's BIOS and disable the built-in sound card. Once you do that, go back to your device manager and if the onboard sound card still appears there remove or disable it. Then reboot and your new sound card should be recognized and you can install drivers and begin using it.

Does the Device Manager display this sound card, otherwise try adding hardware to and let it choose the driver automatically thru the net. Try cleaning the slot metal contact points with any clean paper, re-insert and try. If nothing works try any other sound card & if that works then most probably your sound card has got fried. Also if you are using Vista, not all sound cards are recognized by this OS and there is no way of installing a seperate driver...so all the best...........sodeep

try downloading new drivers for it if doesn't work i would say maybe your sound card took a dump it happens sometimes lala linda

it is not by sound card only ,check the sound utilities,driver ,and master volume control,
if all correct just remove the side panel (if u have PCI sound card or separate sound card) and remove the sound card and replug it,
if now not working u call to technition

the sound card is to be attached to the isa slot, if working should receive its resource and work, carefully attach the sound card to the isa slot, if working sound card it will be read if not it won't then put a working sound card.

the sound card is installed into the ISA slot not the PCI slot.
clear the cmos for a minute, set it normal again.
install the sound card to the ISA slot carefully - i mean a working sound card and couple the system unit and boot, surely you will have your sound card working.
