Ah, yeah, sorry. I missed that option. Pull the card and see if the freezing up stops. If it does, you can leave it out and turn the onboard audio on in the bios. It won't be 5.1, but it will be sound. TheMalcolmConnection 06-08-2006, 09:44 AM Ah, yeah, sorry. I missed that option. Pull the card and see if the freezing up stops. If it does, you can leave it out and turn the onboard audio on in the bios. It won't be 5.1, but it will be sound. True enough. I forgot that since it's PCI you can remove it. That's a good call. If the card is malfunctioning, then it may not be motherboard related so much as it's just that card. MTK 06-08-2006, 12:44 PM OK, I removed the sound card and everything seems to be running smooth. No freezing, no conflicts in the device mgr. Is it safe to assume the problem was the card? How do I go about buying a new one, do I just buy the same one? Are there any compatibility issues I need to know about? thanks guys cpayne5 06-08-2006, 01:15 PM Does your motherboard have sound? If so, you can enable this in your bios, and you'll have sound. If not (or if you want 5.1 again), you can just buy a new soundcard and install it. MTK 06-08-2006, 01:21 PM I enabled the sound in the bios but I'm still not hearing anything, board must not have sound I guess. TheMalcolmConnection 06-08-2006, 01:24 PM It's conflicting with the you currently have. Try taking that card out of your computer if you are comfortable. AND if you see slots that'll fit a speaker connector on your motherboard, you should be good to go. TheMalcolmConnection 06-08-2006, 01:25 PM Scratch what I said before. Saw that you already did that. I'd just order a new one from newegg. I always trust their shipping and prices. I would also say it is safe to assume it was the card causing all the problems. cpayne5 06-08-2006, 01:26 PM What I mean, is if it has another set of holes for mic/speakers like on this MB. It's between the monitor port and usb ports. http://i6.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/ec/10/fe_1.JPG MTK 06-08-2006, 01:30 PM What I mean, is if it has another set of holes for mic/speakers like on this MB.
