Third... Check the possibility that your speakers may be on the blink.Although the speakers very rarely fail,it is possible that should not be overlooked.
Fourth...Before replacing
the system unit cover, check and double check to see if the card is fully inserted into the PCI Slot.
Its possible the card may have crepted out of the slot if it was not properly secured to the case.
Fifth...After replacing the system unit cover, reconnecting all peripherals,and turning on the computer,click to open the Windows system folder.
See if there are problems with the device drivers which are small software used to allow the sound card to communicate to the computer.
After you have performed these procedures and the sound card is not working at all,remove the card from the computer and try inserting in another system.
As a last resort,you maybe able to save the purchase of another card,when there was no need.
