I got my new sound card today, and i plugged in the my PCI slot, i open my pc and run the driver setup as what other user did, but the installation failed because my pc could not detect my sc...

any solution for this?

try reseat your sc...just give a try...maybe your card not insert properly...or try with other pci slot

i've tried for few times, but it's still the same..

does ur motherboard come with an onboard soundcard? try switching that off in the BIOS first.

yeah..disable your onboard sound...sometimes some mobo automatically disable onboard sound...please check in your bios...

Yea, i cant find my onboard at bios, but i did disable the device at device manager..

what sound card you bought it?

what's ur mboard make/model?

if u have an onboard soundcard, i believe u need to disable it first in BIOS. disabling it in device manager wont make a difference.

china card, sq210a, i've asked other user, they were fine with the driver..zzz/....

yea i tried to disable in bios, but i could not find, which one to be disabled..in integrated peripherals right??

Are you alredy install the drivers?

my problem now is the installation of the driver failed, the error is could not detect the hardware (sc).

what mobo u use? maybe it not compatible with the mobo bios.

hmmm...look like your driver not match with your hardware...try find another driver..btw what mobo you using bro..mind to list here?

Ga-P35-DS3L

take out the card, clean all the golden contacts with alcohol swabs. also clean the pci slot for any dust or foreign materials

if that fails, get a replacement card. the card itself is faulty

the led on the card is lighted up..
