It's a PCI sound card. You're motherboard may not have one depending on its make and age. Try finding your motherboard online to determine if its compatible.

This card is for PCI, which is an older type of connection on the motherboard. Some newer motherboards only have PCI Express, which is a newer form of PCI, but it fits different cards. Do a google search for PCI vs PCI Express to learn how to identify each. Asus makes the Xonar DX, which is a similar card that fits in a PCI 1x slot, which is a much smaller slot than PCI.

Mine is hooked up to a desktop with a discrete sound card. I "suspect" if you go into control panel>sound, just make sure you choose the right output in "playback" tab of sound in control panel. It wanted to have AMD high definition sound but I changed it to my card. You can do this and if you are not sure which is the correct one, make sure you have music playing as you try each possibility, the one that lets sound come out your speaker is the correct one. This is a windows sound configuration issue, not a monitor issue, just saying. Hope that helps, if not, if you get the results and have amazon contact me I will try to help more.

You don't have to buy a sound card to have them sound good but if your motherboard doesn't have on board 7.1 sound on it then it's best you get a sound card. I'm using my on board 7.1 and didn't buy a sound card and they sound great to me but could be better with a sound card. Getting a sound card isn't a bad investment for your computer though if you don't have one

Interesting. I've never seen a USB sound card/adapter this small. Thanks. I'm glad you were able to fix your problem and enjoy your speakers.

I have had no problems of any kind with my SB-Z sound card. It has been an exception item. Maybe you have an incompatibility between your sound card and the applications you are using.

If you have onboard sound on you momotherboard or a dedicated audio card then you can used VGA and use your onboard or dedicated sound card might be wise thing to do.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

I have purchased it, to use it with my headphone and while this card is plugged in it's the sound card that outputs the signal.We also use it on a server at work. The server did not have a sound card on the motherboard(build in) nor and external car. This card gave sound to this PC.

The soundcard is built in. You just install the software to utilize the 7.1 sound.

you will have to plugin the microphone to your onboard. This DAC is for audio output only. If you are looking for a sound card for games i would look into an internal sound card: Asus Essence or HT Omega's prodcuts

Try rebooting the computer if you haven't done that already. If you still don't have sound, run the Creative Diagnostics to check for problems. The last option would be to reinstall the Creative drivers. Then reboot and check for sound. This all assumes that the problem is not with the card itself. By the way plug in a pair of headphones into the jack on the front of the computer to rule out the possibility that the problem is not your speakers. It's also possible that your soundcard is not seated properly. You would have to open up the computer (turn it off first and touch something metallic to remove static) and take out and put the soundcard back in the slot. I would do that if possible, before reinstalling drivers. Soundcards are very reliable. More likely than not, it's a driver (software) or connection problem. Good luck.

You should return it! Mine worked right out of the box. Make sure you have it in the right port. Try one of the other E ports. It may depend on your motherboard, some of the older ones don't work well with these type of cards... good luck.

I dont know. but this usually sounds better than the computer on board sound on old computers. But I am using the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCI Express Sound Card and it is awesome sounding get that one like that if you want a good one.

I recently purchased two different ASUS mother boards. Either one fits the description of your board. Bothboards have the main chipset with 8 channel high def audio. I am not aware of any recent boards using audioon a card; however, you can add a sound card if you prefer to any system wether it has built in audio or not.
