hi
i have a new(secondhand) PC and i just figured out how to check if it has a sound card only to find out it hasn't much to my disappointment!
anyway now i know i need to find a sound card on ebay but was wondering if anyone could advise me how to find out which on would be compatible!
many thanks and hello!
Becky

Is there any reason you can't use the onboard sound becky?

i have no idea i have a set of speakers that i tried on my mp3 player but they don;t work!
i looked on sounds and audio device properties and it says no audio device! so now i am clueless!
i spoke to my dad who knows a tiny bit about pcs and he says i should have sound as part of my motherboard but i don;t know how to check its workin!
thanks so much for your help

What make and model is your pc Becky?
It may be you need a driver for the sound.
