Hello, I am in need of some advice on my sound card issue. I was given a soundblaster live 24 bit card and decided to try and install it myself. it looked easy. My present system has a built in sound card.C-Media it says. I disabled the onboard card thru the bios and uninstalled the drivers. I insalled the card by switching the wire from the onboard to the new card and putting the new card in the slot. The other end I placed in the back of the cd rom.
When I boot up it says new hardware found and I installed the new software. Everything seemed to be going fine but when I played a song thru WMP it gave me a message that windows could not play the file as there was a problem with the audio card. I then reversed everything I did and it still won't play with the onboard soundcard activated. Any ideas how to solve this?
