Does my computer have a Sound Card?

by Kimberly

Hello,

Thanks for your article on sound cards.

I was given a used computer and it doesn’t play any sound or music.

I am trying to find if it has a sound card already installed in it. If so I need to find out whether it is installed on the motherboard or whether it is an independent one. I can’t find it.

Obviously I don’t know much about this and I don’t really know what to look for. It looks like the computer is a Microsoft XP with a Legacy Audio Driver? Whatever that means..

Could really use some help. Thanks

Hi Kimberley,

Thanks for your question about whether your computer has a sound card or not. It seems that your computer probably does have a sound card, because of the audio drivers installed.

This means that it is probably an in-built sound card on the motherboard. However, it could be a separate card as well. What I would recommend is installing the motherboard drivers that hopefully would of come with the computer.

If you don’t know the motherboard type, you could download a program call CPUZ, which will tell you. Once you have the motherboard, do a Google search and download the Windows XP drivers.

Hopefully that will help,
Kind Regards

Nathanael

If you still can’t find the problem

If you still can’t find the problem, you can always get another used computer. You can get Apple-approved chargers so you would make sure you won’t have any issues with it, you have a high chance of finding a good used computer that won’t be too costly.

Today sound card is builtin because it is a old myth that you are now looking for your sound card, use different supportive windows. If you can write a paper for me i would love to pay you because i always need writers for my future projects.

Did you manage to solve the issue? Once your computer is fixed, you can get cloud computing as well. There are many good cloud service providers to choose from, so you’ll never be limited by your hardware storage capacity.

These days computer accessories aren’t so expensive as they used to be. But, even so, you should buy only the necessary items. For instance, a cadastre and land registry expert needs a quality CAD software and the best Cad Cam software can be bought only from the Sierra CAD/CAM Inc. Therefore, he will buy only this software and nothing extra.

Every motherboard has a builtin sound card maybe should have to re install the sound card driver if you have the installation disc or you can search it on the internet for the driver.

These days almost every computer should have a sound card, if not you could go with it at the company from where you bought it to ask its experts to incorporate one in it. Further, you should take some measures to protect your computer from damages, one of them should be to buy a quality Pelican case to put your computer in it whenever you need it outside your house.

Sound cards work in a most typical fashion and it is unfortunate that sellers do not mention how to use them properly. However, you can install add-ons from the internet to ensure your sound card works properly without any concern.

Nowadays every computer has a quality sound card! What they don’t have is an antivirus software or a specialized software which protects the computer against any hacker’s attack. A company, like the Endpoint Technology Company can offer anyone the best security penetration testing to do an active analysis of the system for any potential vulnerabilities that could result from poor or improper system configuration.

Even if you have the soundcard in your computer you must install the driver CD in the computer. Then only the sound will play. If you have the installation CD with you just run the disc in the computer it will install automatically.click
