Location of sound card

Where is the port of the sound card? Is this the same as the microphone port?

Hi selkie305,

The location of the sound card depends on the type of sound card on the computer.

There are three types of sound cards: sound cards, built on the motherboard of your computer and maps its internal and external.

You connect the microphone Jack Mic-in/digital (input\output) which is part of the sound card line out port. Basically, microphone port is port of the sound card.

  • Adding (not replace) sound card

    Each computer previously owned included extra slots for expansion cards - not if my Pavilion HPE-112Y, product #VT637AAR-ABA. What's worse, the sound Manager is not a separate card but is integrated into the motherboard - and this device is upward. I still can't play audio files via Windows Media Player, Quicktime, or other programs, but the audio device apparently incorrectly reports the type of file to other programs. This sabotaged my ability to load sound in Poser 8 that I could do otherwise.

    With the help of support staff to ask, I ruled out all other possibilities (I just downloaded and installed the latest codec for Windows 7 pack, which excluded the last alternative cause. "I'm NOT lack of codecs).

    Replace the welded sound device is out of the question, so how can I add a sound card?

    Madmilt, welcome to the forum.

    This is the page for Specifications of the motherboard of the computer.  Look at the section called "Expansion Slots.  It shows that you have 3 each PCI Express x 1 slots for a sound card.  These locations are faster than the former PCI ports.   The map in the link I provided has hundreds of good reviews and is rated at 4 eggs with an excellent price. Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it. They will give you the straight scoop without exaggeration of the manufacturer.

    You can try to completely uninstall the audio device driver and put it back in place before buying a card.

  • How to get the stereo mix on the Satellite P500 with Conexant - SOLUTION sound card

    Hello people...
    I'll write here what it takes to run the 'stereo mix' on a laptop computer equipped with a sound card Conexant.
    I ran this feature on my laptop Satelilite P500
    to run this function, you need drivers nr. 4.111.0.62
    These drivers can be downloaded from the Lenovo Web site,
    These are the drivers of Lenovo G555 model IN2AUD25WW5.exe
    http://consumersupport.Lenovo.com/UK/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=150169
    Unzip the IN2AUD25WW5.exe file using winrar or 7zip
    next step is to find in the file "W7-64" or "W7 - 32""NELCC2wa.inf" ".
    Open the file "NELCC2wa.inf" in the "notebook" and add the ENTRY under Conexant.NTamd64.6.0]---> > vista
    or Conexant.NTamd64.6.1]---> > 7

    ENTRY
    %HdAudioFunctionDriver.Pebble5071.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModelNELA0V, HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5067 & SUBSYS_1179FFD4

    This entry its hardware id. Can be found in Device Manager
    After the entry, save and close the file "NELCC2wa.inf".
    next step is to update the driver in Device Manager
    in the Device Manager find the entry 'Conexant '.
    Right click and select "update driver".
    then you select "installation of a list or a specific location" or let me choose from a floppy disk

    and point to the location where you saved the unzipped and outdated file 'NELCC2wa.inf '.
    After this start of the computer, update the driver
    If all goes well, after installation, you should find the 'stereo mix' in the sounds of parameters
    Take advantage of...
    PS. It also works with XP 32 and 64-bit using driver 3.97.0.0 Lenovo

  • HP 251-a244: power & potential installation sound card or chart?

    I've got a new desktop HP 251 - a244, window 10 edition 64-bit, AMD-A6-6310, integrated graphics AMD Radeon R4 card, 6 GB DDR3 - 1600 MHz RAM, 1 TB SATA HDD, Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter, Realtek RTL8106E-CG 100BASE-T Ethernet (1 port). It comes with a slot size Office Tower 1: Mini PCI Express half length

    The only information that I could find on the power supply of this system is: external 65w (100v-240v), total power - 65w, output voltage - 19.5V output amps - 3.3.

    This system has an internal Power Supply Unit? If not, is it possible to install a power supply that would go to a card sound or low range graphics card?

    It is my first AMD System. It was a gift from my father, so I'm not complaining. But the people at best buy, where he bought it, told him she had a housing expansion for graphics card, sound card, etc... They lie to him or what?

    I'm just trying to learn the s & out of this new system of AMD, and what I would need if I wanted to install a new card graphics or sound card. The integrated Radeon R4 was given the games I play very well online. The built-in sound is good but it could be improved with a sound card.

    Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!

    This system has an internal Power Supply Unit? If not, is it possible to install a power supply that would go to a card sound or low range graphics card?  The external power supply looks like one that is used on a laptop.  If you have this type of power supply, there is no boarding PSU.

    It is my first AMD System. It was a gift from my father, so I'm not complaining. But the people at best buy, where he bought it, told him she had a housing expansion for graphics card, sound card, etc... They lie to him or what?  I don't know if we can say they lied, but the location alone is as follows: 1 half-length PCI Express mini card socket.  This slot machine is normally used for wireless cards; not a video card.

    I'm just trying to learn the s & out of this new system of AMD, and what I would need if I wanted to install a new card graphics or sound card. The integrated Radeon R4 was given the games I play very well online.  This is your only option.

    The built-in sound is good but it could be improved with a sound card.  There is no way to add an internal sound card.  Here are some cards USB soundNewegg, com.  If you have any questions about them, I suggest to contact Technical Support of the manufcaturer of aid.

    Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!

  • How can you identify entries available sound card?

    The "Sound Input Configure.vi" requires a device identification number that seems arbitrary.  The express VI for sound cards, 'Acquire Sound', pulls a description of each available on the PC input device somehow.  Is it possible to programmatically draw the name of the card sound (s) to a string for a distributed executable?  It is somehow in this express VI!

    The relevant VI who gets this information and fills this control of the ring is the following:

    \vi.lib\sound2\_SoundAcquireConfig.llb\InitializeInputDeviceRing.VI

    The two subVIs there which are of use are "Get Num Devices", which gets the number of available devices and 'Sound Device Info', which returns information about a device number. These screws are in the LLB lvsound2 located in the sound2 directory. These screws can be used on their own.

  • My computer does not recognize my sound card

    CL soundblaster card physically installed (correctly) is not listed in the hardware devices, the computer does not recognize it. I activated the sound Board in the bios and plugged the speakers in there, which works very well.

    Home Basic SP1 Vista Home machine Pentium Dual E2220 2.40 GHZ.

    When I first installed Vista, my machine has recognized my PCI-E graphics card. Upon restart, the sign says I have a standard VGA adapter with 14 MB of RAM, and graphics card is not recognized.

    The sound card has never been recognized.

    Hello

    You must disable the sound embedded a map its separate to be activated.

    Try another location and you have a bad card.

    Disable the sound board and then in Device Manager - click anywhere in the box of white/white
    and the VIEW - SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES - to see you now sound card?

    I hope this helps.

  • How can we find our sound card?

    We have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit with all updates.  However, we have several questions at the present time.

    1. the little bullhorn in our taskbar has a red "X" next to it, and when we go over it, he said: "The Service Audio does not work."
    2. Windows Media Center does not show anything.
    3. we tried to not follow the 'no sound' repair process.  Our Device Manager shows 5 'NVIDIA High Definition Audio"and 1"Realtek High Definition Audio".  One of these is a sound card?  Otherwise, how to locate and correct?
    Any input/help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

    To take your points one by one:

    (1) RTM = read the manual

    (2) Please reread my solution - re - install the audio drivers. By reinstalling them the sound service is enabled, you will not have to dirty you "get under the hood. This will BE you.

    (3) by using the no sound repair process is not the end all and fix what it claims to be.

    (4) say you that you have a red x on the speaker. This means that there is no or no audio device installed or, depending on your case, a service has been stopped. Your headset may work, but I bet you have no sound coming through it right now.

    I gave you the easy way - re - install the audio driver package, unless of course you want to start mucking around ;-) with services, etc.  Here's how:

    Click Start | Type of services | Click on Services (NOT services.exe) | Scroll to the bottom of the window that opens to the Audio Services | Right-click on it. has chosen properties | It should read auto in the center of the small window that opens - if it does not use the small scale/arrow down to change the option. below to read on the road - if she does not change select began. Apply | Okay and re - start. You make it sound.

    Simply reinstall the audio drivers, IMHO would be simpler than the above, which is really a last resort if you know too much about computers...

    WMP will not work either, you have no audio working device, until he can play? Nothing.

    See you soon,.

  • Speakers stopped working after changing the device sound card

    * Original title: switched to hi-speed of dial-up, speakers stopped working / / rev. #2 Can I change the title of: speakers stopped working after changing the device sound card

    I have a Motorola SM56 speakerphone modem, I went from dial-up to the Road Runner.   When I open Device Manager and expand the sound column it lists "High definition Audio Device" (manufacturer of Microsoft), there are 4 that say "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" then there is one that says "Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device.  When I open the properties of the Unimodem device it says ' device working properly. "

    Let me start at the top under "General".  It lists the name of the device: Unimodem half-duplex Audio device.    Device type: audio, video and game controllers;    Manufacturer: Microsoft;    Location: Motorola SM56 Speakerphone modem.

    My speakers worked very well before I went.   I tried updating the driver but he came back with "best driver already installed.  It is a desktop PC, it is about 6 years old, but has been revised, graphics card new, updated to power, new 4 GB ram I think.  The hard drive is 1 TB.   I'm running Windows 7 Pro.  I forgot to mention, if I open a WMV file and volume in the taskbar commands, I see the green light moving.  The green light on the actual speakers turned on, just no sound.  It seems to me that the old speakers do not like the new modem from Time Warner. (I'm an old lady, what the devil I know)

    It is a question of another driver, or is it something else?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are plug you the speakers into the modem?

    They must be connected in making your computer speaker, usually a light green color (read the manual of the machine). Go to control panel / sounds / playback and make sure that the type of speakers you selected as the default device.
    Audio device drivers updated its better to not use MS Update (it is not). Re-post giving your machine make name and exact model number (for example HP, Inspiron, ABC1234 etc.).
    See you soon,.

  • Update sound card driver

    Mac 10.10.5 attempt installation of teaching textbooks algebra. Attention box TT tells me that there is no sound card.  No problems with other programs. Customer support TT tells me that I have to update the drivers... where and how can I do this? I thought that I had everything set to update automatically, and all must be current.

    Their support staff obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Is it supposed to be compatible with the version of Mac OS X you are using?

    How can I get the sound card to play on the speakers of the car?

    Usually connecting the phone to the car system - particularly at the point where you can play the music usually connects the Maps app

    There is a switch at the bottom of the maps app with a speaker symbol that allows you to toggle between having the sound coming through the phone or Bluetooth
