Title covers the question, I think.
Current computer - HP a1610n
Old computer - HP XG833
I was told on another forum that I need to buy a sound card to solve the problem stated in the title, because apparently my current computer uses onboard audio and the onboard audio is not as powerful as the old computer's audio. Is that correct?
It makes sense to me, it's what I figured was the issue before I even sought actual help, but I want a second opinion before I go out and actually buy a sound card. All my volume settings are turned all the way up on the current computer (the right corner volume control thing and through the control panel sound settings), is there anything else besides the onboard audio not being capable that could explain my problem?
