refer to my posted picture, i can detect the card, but the installation still failed.

Its possible that you need to re-install the Microsoft HD Audio patch. The driver CD (also check the motherboard driver one) should contain this program..

i've alrdy installed it, i google it and this version supports SP3.

a lighted up led doesn't mean the card functions properly. perhaps a damaged caps or two somewhere

Well..here is what you shld do..

restart and re-look back in your bios setting

Ensure you have th eparticular pci slot enable and set the hardware IRQ setting to automatic.

Azalia Codec is the on-board sound. Disable it

It still the same after i disable the azalia codec..

but in BIOS, the PCI there, they can detect a device is installed in the PCI slot..

Post me the Device Id and Vendor ID (Go to Device Manager --> select the unknown device and then select Details --> Hardware ID)

or alternatively run Linux and then do a lspci , itw ill print the real chipset/real name of the sound card

now at device manager canot see the unknown device alrdy, only at bios, PCI there can see a Multimedia Device - Bus5 Dev2 Func0

the card has been tested on another board and it works, what's wrong with my board

I do encountered the same problem as yours. Same motherboard but with prodigy hd2 soundcard. However after a month trial and error installed, I managed get in on. I can't recall back how but if i'm not mistaken is the OS culprit, try to update your XP/Vista or visit their Q & A. That's how I did it. Sorry pal, nothing much can help.

Ok, but i did reformat my pc, it is still the same..

anyway thx for your assist..

You should have multiple PCI slots on your DS3L.
All PCI slots fail?

Yea all gave me the same result....

maybe u'rsound card spoil try other pc

see this post

problem not yet solved..

Try again enter bios then disable the onboard sound (make sure the soundcard (pci) connect the slot firmly. then check ur device manager and click twice sound, video and game controller to see the list drivers, make sure there are no yellow question mark otherwise u have to uninstall the yellow driver.(make sure the driver listed under sound,video and game controller is the same driver as the pci soundcard(not the onboard sound driver). remember before install the pci soundcard driver, please remove the old sounddriver.
as highlander says 'There only can be one' so make sure turn-off the onboard sound.

it does not work

i've gone frustrated with my sc and pci slot
