2.1.1. Identify Your Old PC Sound System

Check the back of your computer in the area of PCI slots (usually toward the bottom (on the tower and mini tower cases) or to the right side (on desktop cases). All the connectors line up in one row on a 4-inch end bracket (similar to your Dynamic Edge end bracket).

Add-in Soundcard

Look for the standard soundcard connectors. The standard labels for the connectors are shown in Figure 1.

If the sound system is integrated on the motherboard, usually, the connectors are similar to the add- on card, but they are not on a bracket. They might be stacked up in two rows. Figure 2 shows examples of on-board audio connectors.

To disable your integrated sound (on-board audio) you will have to enter the system BIOS utility. Warning: Do not alter any other settings of your BIOS, or your system may not function properly. Refer to your system documentation on how to activate the BIOS utility.
