Recommendation of the sound card to install inside on my Dell desktop computer

Hi all

I got the card from his Creative Audigy 2 SB installed in my PC desktop Dell Dimension original (plug in my profile), but after 8 years, it Kinky and I replaced it with a 2nd hand Creative SB PCI128 (Ensoniq ES1371) sound card for USD$ 15. However, the sound quality is so much poorer, I don't think I can live with that.

I went to the fair of information TECHNOLOGY, but the new sound cards seem to cost a lot.

As I am able to get second hand sound cards, can you recommend I buy? Is there anything else I should be looking? All cards sound is of the same size? My turn still has plenty of space/slots I think.

I can be able to get good deals on second hand sound cards, if I knew how much I should pay and what I'm looking for. My budget is USD $50 for a good map its second hand. Is - this unrealistic?

Thank you

Nellie of Singapore

Always include your PC model number and the operating system on any position of the initial problem.  Your profile is not where to post this.

There is no new model SoundBlaster PCI sound cards available.  The Audigy 2 If is the single new SoundBlaster PCI sound card.

The Dell supplied Audigy 2 soundcards that were provided were model cards "Audigy 2ZS.  You can get a used one of the same model.  e bay listings used Audigy 2ZS sound cards and the other SoundBlaster Audigy series PCI type sound cards (don't you not a PCIe type).  They are mostly under US $20.

  • Satellite P300-220 - yellow exclamation on the sound card

    Hello

    I just lowered my Satellite p300 to XP pro, but it seems to me that I now have some problems.

    -First of all, in Device Manager, I have a line "Audio device on Bus High Definition"with a yellow"?" and a «!» I installed the audio drivers and kb888111xpsp2.exe execution but that did not solve the problem, this line does not disappear.

    D ' other hand, when I click on "my computer > properties" it is written that I had 2, RAM 96Go, but normally I have 4 GB. Is this normal? I'm a little afraid to see it and not know what to do.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    You must install Microsoft patches:
    -KB888111
    -KB835221

    But these fixes are also part of the SP3!

    In order to solve your problem, you need to remove the audio driver and the sound card in Device Manager. I then have to install SP3.
    After SP3 has been installed, you can reinstall the sound driver

    It is important that the pilot would be installed AFTER the SP3

  • I disabled the sound card that I think and I can not allow it now. Windows Vista Edition Home Premium / Fujitsu Lifebook A series laptop. No other changes made recently.

    Apparently, I disabled my soundcard by rt clicking on the speaker icon in the status bar on bottom screen rt system. Then I deselected the output device and selected the option helmet on the reading tab. I am getting no sound using headphones or my internal speakers. Now hovering above the "speaker" icon says no audio output device is installed. On the reading tab, I now have only the headset option. I have changed nothing. I use Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop Fujitsu Lifebook series A. helping, please? THX.

    Thx for the help, in my particular case uninstall the sound card and then restarting solved the problem. It's a much simpler solution. THX Tho!

  • Does not DETECT THE SOUND CARD / laptop INSPIRON 1501

    I have an INSPIRON 1501 laptop and have had problems with the sound for some time. When I watch movies, the sound is there. When I Skype, I can hear, but the other party can't hear what I'm saying. Skype can't detect sound card.

    What I've done so far:

    I went to control PANEL and then MANAGER of DEVICES, OTHER DEVICES. Here, I have only one BASIC DEVICE SYSTEM option with a yellow sign. I right click on properties, then under GENERAL clicked REINSTALL DRIVER, but Windows could not find driver software.

    I also tried option SOUND, VIDEO and GAME CONTROLLERS in the DEVICE MANAGER. There is only one HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE option and it is not marked.

    Advice I have to install find the sound card.

    Thanks for all your advice beforehand.

    Thanks again for the support.

  • No noise in the sound card of Nvidia GTX 550ti after Windows 8 plant

    Original title: since upgrading to Windows 8, Skype can not detect my sound card

    Now, it's not to say that my sound card does not work as it is certainly.  I have a card integrated sound with my Nvidia GTX 550ti I'm running two in SLI mode.  However, when I got windows 7 more earlier today, Skype detected sound card very well.  When I've upgraded to windows 8 afternoon program is no longer detected the sound card, but he DOES not see my headset Xbox 360 Wireless.  I've updated everything and double checked to make sure I have the latest drivers.  I uninstalled and then re installed Skype.  IM convinced that the problem is that something is Skype of BLOCKING access to the sound card.  However, it cannot be Norton 360 as it wasn't a problem before.

    That being said, it would be Windows Defender?  It is also a problem with Skype for windows 8.  So at least it seems to be a problem.

    Hey, the problem is now resolved.  Skype has released an update awhile back and it fixed the issue. I'm not sure where it was.

  • ATTENTION TO DEVELOPERS - PROBLEMS WITH THE SOUND CARD

    I have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 audio card. I have before running on my Mac, version 5.0.3 (VMWARE) and everything worked. After that I updated to the new version 6 and my sound card no sound comes and has connectivity problems in windows. I updated the drivers for my Board to the latest version. I've upgraded to the last version firmeware. And I tested this audio card on two different Macs with version 6, and the problem persisted!

    Note: I use demo version 6.

    The sound card works perfectly in my MAC system with the latest drivers. But the problem remains FUSION version 6. I tested it on two different virtual machines with different operating systems, tested on two different Imacs and nothing back to work as before.

    After several tests, which detects the sound card works perfectly with his last official update from the manufacturer only with version 5.0.3 (VMWARE). With version 6, the problem persists.

    I am desperate because I work with music production and use software for windows in my MAC...

    Sorry writing errors. I live in the Brazil!

    Version 6, it must improve the compatibility issue. Problems I am facing a lot after this update.

    Best,

    Before uninstalling VMware Fusion 6.0 you must change the updated hardware Version from 10 to 9 for any Virtual Machine level.  Take a look on: Change the compatibility of a Virtual Machine

    Then uninstall VMware Fusion 6 and then install VMware Fusion 5.

    John,

    The image in a previous post and the components I mentioned that you may be able to distill my workflow for VO. Note that I have not (regularly) use a teleprompter, even if occasionally I can get one from a friend to use.

    My workflow is written the text of VO, I want to add. The reason is that I want every sentence having a flow, I want to know where to focus, where having a silent part and get an overall feel of the story. It should be like the old stories told on the radio. It must arouse the interest of the public, even with your eyes closed, it must Captivate their and it helps me get the correct wording, avoids the use of difficult words, etc. I don't then go to a room in my house, close windows, doors, turn off the phone, tell my wife not to confuse me, hope that nobody rings a Bell at the entrance door and no ambulances pass our House with sirens screaming, no outside disturbances and installation of the filter SE reflection Pro and the microphone. I then read the text, usually wise paragraph, get my knowledge again and continue to the next section. When I feel that everything is OK, I remove the Zoom of the SD card, import WAV recordings in my computer and import them into my project. It is then a simple matter of dragging each paragraph in the timeline (mono track) and the position where I want, and so on to the next paragraph. In this way, I get a very clear sound VO, in need of no other audio processing and positioning is very fast. This works very well for me, but maybe that your workflow is different, so distilled that you need and that you can use from this description.
