iv recently got a new computer but im not sure if it has a sound card, the speakers iv tried in it wouldnt work. i do not know wot the sound card looks like and can not find out weather it is insalled in the computer, could you tell me how i can find out

Clearly if you've managed to plug the speakers in somewhere, this computer has sound.  Why not use one of the the system information programs you'll find in the software FAQ (click the link in my signature) to find out more about your computer's sound capabilities?  It may be that the sound card drivers are installed, or that your speakers don't work, or...

thank you rob but im not sure what to click on i tried find but nothing came up

[Rob Pomeroy]

See my signature.  There's a word in it, "software".  Click on that.  In the page that comes up, you'll find several different "system information" programs.  Any of them should do the trick for you.

im on to the major geeks web page but there are lots of different types of soft wear, i do not know what sound card i have, will it matter what one i download?

[Rob Pomeroy]

Er... the point of the software is to tell you what soundcard you have...  Lets go back a step.  I'll guide you to one piece of software: >click here<.  Download, and if you're stuck, post again.
