When I use PC Drummer on my 750 mhz Compaq laptop with XP Home, I get all the volume I want, but when I use it on my desktop HP (2.8 ghz with XP Pro), I don't get enough volume, even though the sound adjustment is maxed out. Both computers have the sound cards they came with -- very rudimentary. So -- if I install soundblaster, will that give me more volume?

You did not mention what you are using for speakers. If it is the internal speakers build into the computer, then changing the sound card will probably not help. You will still have the same speakers. If you are using external speakers, trying swapping them between the PCs and see what happens to the volume.
If that does not help, then try a different sound card. (But as speakers are cheaper then sound cards, does not hurt to check them first.)

More than likely the speakers you have for the desktop are not powered and the sound card in the desktop needs power amp......, try plugging the PC into the AUX on your stereo and see...
