how do i find out what type of sound card is in the pc?

Answer 1

there are two solutions to this. first, (assuming you are running xp home) open up control panel and select the system icon. click on the hardware tab, then click on device manager. if your sound card is already installed, it should show up under sound, video and game controllers. the alternative is to remove the panels on the tower and actually look at the sound card itself. if it's built-in the motherboard, (not a card plugged into a slot) you need to find out the make and model of the motherboard and check out the manufacturer's info.
