My desktop pc has built-in audio that's now damaged (it's not the drivers). Thus, front/rear jacks not working. So, if card damaged, will this work?

Yes, this will work. It will show up in your Sound control panel as an output. Select that and plug in your headphones or speakers and you should be all set.

This should as long as your USB is working. I wouldn't use it in an application that needs to be removed often as the audio jacks are not robust. But if the plan is to install it and leave it plugged in you should be fine.

Yes, this will work. It essentially becomes your new sound card. That said the sound quality out of this device isn't impressive but it's functional.

I have not had a problem like. Mine work fine. Could it be a defective card?

You can plug the front audio port to this card but it won't deliver the amplified signal.

No, but it's recommended to do so. Why would you want to active audio cards ?

I would not think so. A sound card is something totally different. If your sound card died, no speakers will work for you. You would have to have your sound card replaced.

I mostly use this card for headphones, however I would guess no to your question. Maybe if you plug the front panel audio into this card and plug your other speakers in up there would you maybe be able to do that. maybe ask on like head-fi.org as they will probably know much more than me. I also, do not own this sound card anymore, as my new motherboard did not have a pci connector :/ Some people might not agree, but after purchasing my new xonar essence stx, I would say this card is hardly any different sounding.

Mine plays music just fine therefore they do come with a sound card. I would call them about it.

Basically those are two separate issues, as far as I know, you don't connect a sound card to a graphics card, those are two independent cards that have their own specific function and I don't know of any sound cards that cannot function properly (when installed correctly on the motherboard) with any specific video card. I've built many computers and have never had a problem with sound card/video card conflicts.

Plug and play on my computer audio jack, work perfectly, im a computer tecnitian back here at honduras central america. If they work just fine on other device it could be, the drivers for ur audio on your computer are missing (no audio what so ever generaly on ur pc) go to start,left click on my pc, click adminiser, click on the left side option on the bar named devices, if yoy se something yellow you have drivers missing. In other case it could be ur audio card. If the headsets dont work on other devices apart from ur pc (a celphone, mp3 playe even a ps4 control) the headsets are not working

Not easliy. You need to open the entire unit up, take out the motherboard and solder in the card. Oh, no warranty if you do this .

I use Senn PC360 and have noticed a difference when gaming and recording with Audacity, escpecially in the analog mic input. Using lossless audio is where this card will really shine, so make sure your music library is encoded with ALAC or FLAC, and maybe try HD Tracks for some higher-than-CD quality music!

I honestly never did do that My pop has told me that you never connect everything to one unit for the fear of electrical damage that could happen so I advise getting PC speakers or better yet there are phono jacks I've seen on a PC system and two bookshelf speakers great sound and the cd burnt with the pc equalizer in it it sounded as if you're in the studio or there in concert so I hope this has helped you and wish you the best. By all means contact me about this Bud Lucas yerington nv

I honestly don't know. I have several audio cards and have never bothered to use any of their digital features. I bought this card only because my onboard audio failed and I needed something to use in place of it. Sorry.

I wouldn't think a different computer would be the problem. Can you charge it from an ordinary outlet? If this doesn't work, I would call Audio and get help. They are amazing, friendly, and helpful.

It didn't work for me in a Windows PC, may have been a bad card but it didn't work even though Windows recognized it and installed drivers.

The best chances are yes, you can get sound working, because of course, you select this new sound card, in an option on your computer. There is a slim chance that there is something far more wrong with your computer. I would definitely try this sound card though. These cards are great. I have both generations of these laptop sound cards and enjoy them very much.
