How to install a sound card?

I have a Pavilion h8 - 1240t and I want to disable audio Beats and install a Sound Blaster Sound card. Can someone tell me how to disable the integrated audio system and uninstalling drivers?

Uninstall/remove IDT HD audio drivers via Windows Add/Remove Programs Control Panel and turn off the computer. Unplug the computer from the electrical outlet, UPS or power strip. Open side removable and install the new audio card Sound Blaster of PCIe x 1 into the open slot. Close the computer case and reconnect to power source. Turn on computer and immediately, press the "F10" key and continue to do so about once a second until the computer between the configuration of the BIOS screen. Locate the audio/onboard audio option and select disabled. Save and restart the computer. When entering Windows install drivers Sound Blaster.

    Bit long-winded, but we broken rececently, very clever thieves, stole a number of point with my computer with disks of Toshiba bag. (LOL) the lap top was next to the bag on the desk, they left.

    Since then contracted a virus which means I had to completely format the hard drive and installed XP.

    No problem, but now I can not find the audio drivers right. Q. How can I identify the sound card on the top of the Tower?

    You n t know what sound chip has your laptop?
    On the Europe of Toshiba page you can find the drivers for this model of laptop.
    I can see that the Realtek sound card driver has been released and so I'm 100% sure that the sound chip was made by Realtek.

    I just ordered the new IPad Pro. Verizon's SIM card has been free to purchase. Did I install myself or do I need to have someone at the Apple store install it?

    The SIM card allows communication with a cellular data network. If you have ordered a cell iPad Pro with a Verizon SIM card it will either come installed on the iPad or there will be instructions about how to open the slot and install the SIM card.

  • How do we uninstall sound card from the bios on a Satellite L40?

    I bought a Creative Soundblaster 5.1 and install having problems with him. The technical team was advised to uninstall or diasble internal sound card via Device Manager. Tried and every time computer re - starts the sound card is re-installed.

    The team informed that I should uninstall it from the bios. I have only a very basic knowledge of computers, it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the direction of the instructions, or guide me through it.

    I have a portable Satellite L40 and Vista works on the computer.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul

    I got some bad news! You can't disable the sound card in the BIOS. The BIOS for laptops is just different as BIOS for the desktop PC and the menus are not the same.

    +*@McMadkat*+
    Please don t be angry with me, but I think that your suggestion is wrong.

    The sound card may be disabled in the Windows operating system device manager

  • How to: install a wireless card; Is a router still required after completing this

    How difficult is it to install a wireless to my current desktop card, so I don't have to use a router?  I am running Windows Vista.  Is it still possible?

    Even if you install a wireless card, you should always have a connection to the Internet. That is done via a wireless router. If you are near a public "hotspot", you may be able to connect through instead of one to have on your home or office.

    It is certainly possible to install a wireless card. There are types that require the case to be opened to allow access to the PCI bus. There are types that plug into a USB port available on the case. It is not difficult to install.

    I have the feeling you are trying to get rid of the cable between your computer and the Internet router.

  • I want to install a sound card but...

    My HPE - 390 t office uses the Realtek HD Audio Manager.  I recently bought a set of Corsair SP2500 2.1 speaker system, which the manufacturer recommends the use of a sound card for the best sound quality.  However, the speaker system sounds good just by using its Board of Directors.

    The manufacturer leaves a slot for adding a sound card on the card. (I'm too lazy to open the pc to watch).

    It takes about 10 seconds to open and to look at, but to see with the software I suggest to use the Speccy program.

    Install you it and it gives all the technical features of your computer.  If you click motherbaord, it will display all the slots, what is in them, width of bus, whatever you need.

  • How to find the sound card in my hp all in one computer 3520?

    Hello

    Please let me know how I can find the sound card in my computer and I need to add another sound card to record the audio cables my music playing in my electric piano?

    Thank you very much!

    Carmela

    Carmela, welcome to the forum.

    What is the make and model of electric piano?  I would like to look at the specifications to see if there is a way to connect it to your computer via a USB 2.0 port.  I explain why it's necessary information below.

    The sound card is integrated into the motherboard of your computer.  This is the "Illustrated Parts & Service card" for the computer.  P. 2, it shows the "system board components."  It shows a Line Out jack, but no Line In connector.  The best way is to connect your piano to computer Line Out connector on it to a Line In connector on the computer.  In addition, there is no slot for a dedicated sound card.

    Once I have the model of the piano, I will try to help connect you to the computer.

  • How to install the graphics card Nvidia Quadro 4000 in Dell R710

    Hi all

    I read a lot about the installation of the Nvidia Quadro PCIe x 16 card in a Dell R710.  I know what parts I need to order (Dell GP347 PCI-e left Riser), but I don't know how to install the power cable 6 pin required by the Nvidia card.  Where would connect it to the motherboard Dell R710?  Is there a place to connect?  If not, is there some type of power provides I can hang the 6-pin power Cable from Nvidia and power the server?  Any help would be appreciated.

    It's a bit old now, but thought I would answer that I had this work and very happy with the performance!

    In addition to editing card, that I needed, there is NO way to provide the power that the card must provide without a power SUPPLY.  There is a really small box listed on Newegg called "ePOWER EP - 450CD 450W ATX12V/EPS12V modular juice dedicated to the area of graphics card and CPU of power".  Buy and run the GPU power cable to an empty PCI slot at the back of the Dell server.

    I also bought some video cards NVidia Quadro 4000 2 GB GDDR5 PCIe for each of my 5.5 ESXi servers. Also, I left my active integrated video graphics card and it is always primary for my hypervisor.

    Download and install the NVidia ESXi drivers on their site and follow the directions to install.  Reset.

    I use sVGA with my Horizon offices and downloaded a trial version of Sketch-Up to test the 3D.  They have a community of users who post 3D renderings and you can download it directly from the Sketch-up program.  Cruise around and check the performance.

    As a side note, I noticed IE worked worse way by using the GPU when browsing the internet.  Go to settings, advanced in Internet Explorer and has the option at the top of the page "use rendering software instead of GPU".  This change makes IE works as expected.
