need help installing sound card

Featured Replies

Hi alll, I just purchased a slightly used Audigy 2 sound card and need some help installing....i have inserted it into the correct slot but need to know if there are any cables to attach to it as it has 3 ports named TAD, CD-IN and AUX, there is small cable leading attcahed to the motherboard marked SPEAKERS ...does this attch to one of these ports?....thanks

Hey Gooper,TAD = Telephone Audio Device - this is a fairly old standard that allowed turning a modem into a speaker phone via your sound card, unless you have a modem installed that supports it and you want to use your PC as a speaker phone, you don't need to hook up this one.CD-IN = old style analog CD audio input. Most CD drives and software players extract the digital audio directly off the CD these days, so unless you have a really really old CD drive, you probably don't need this one either.AUX = this would just be another audio input, if you had some other sound generating device inside your computer and wanted it routed through the same audio output as the sound card (I don't think there are too many of these types of cards around anymore, but I could be wrong). You could also use this, with appropriate cables, to snake a 1/8" plug outside the computer to hook up a WMA/MP3/etc player, although there's probably a line-in on the back that would do this just as well :->.So, you don't need to hook anything up to any of those to get your sound card working correctly.
