Maybe if you uninstall the sound drivers, stick in the PCI sound card and install it's drivers. Don't you just love Compaq computers ? Best

There could be an 'enable/disable' jumper on the motherboard...check the motherboard manual

the problem is known to me, me always reinstalls drivers for detected hardware, even if removed in advance at any start up. you can best insert the new soundcard and install the drivers for it. windows will choose automatically for the latest installed sound card. Where's the any key?
