If so.. It can be either integrated into your motherboard or external and be in one of your pci slots on your motherboard.

How do you find out the details of your laptops motherboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume you're asking "how do I know what kind of motherboard I have" and not the usually much easier "which part in the computer is the motherboard" (it's almost certainly the biggest circuit board in there).

The only sure one I know of is to look for the manufacturer's name and model number silkscreened onto the board somewhere.

Alternatively, if it's hooked up and working, the power-on self-test may tell you, though sometimes these are a little more vague than might be hoped (for example, while it's likely to tell you the manufacturer and possibly the model, it may or may not specify the particular revision).

How do you decide which expansion card is the video card?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main way to tell which expansion card is the video card is to look at the plug. If it has a VGA socket, a display port socket, HDMI, etc., then you will know it is a video card. You may identify some of the chips on the card as being RAM, or you might find a fan on it, but these features are not exclusive to video cards. If that is the place where you plug your monitor, then it is a video card, unless of course you are plugging directly into the motherboard.

What should a person look for when selecting a sound card?

Asked by Wiki User

Figure out what you will need the card for first, and then research different cards' specs before buying.

But remember it's better to have one that is too good, than not good enough!

Can you download a sound card?

Asked by Wiki User

No. Sound cards are pieces of hardware. You can't download one any more than you could download a new car. You can, however, download a driver for your existing sound card, as long as you know its make and model.

How do activate a sound card on a Roland U220?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Insert the sound card. Access the Part mode, and move cursor to I (for internal sounds). Change that to card. Move cursor to the right, and use inc/dec. to the NUMBER ON THE FACE OF THE CARD. That is, card SN-U110-11 would be 11 in the display, and then you will hear the sounds. Each card has a distinctive number 1 - 15 on its face, and regardless of which slot you plug the card into, you must choose the CARD's FACE NUMBER identity. You can then access all the sounds. If you have four cards installed, you can access any of them by choosing its Roland identity number on the face of the card (1 - 15). You can make multitimbral patches up to 6 midi channels and mix/match from any of the 4 cards and the internal sounds, and save these patches with a name you give (perhaps the song title?). For them to play correctly, however, you must have the same cards installed in the device for the sounds to play.

Asked by Wiki User

Go to Toshiba's website. (google it).

Look for the tabs at the top that say 'Support' and navigate to ' Downloads' to see if they still support your computer. You may need to go to archive support for older machines.

Tosh are generally quite good and provide good support for their computers.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is possible to make sound work on Safe Mode.

  1. Press Windows + R, type devmgmt.msc, press Enter and look for your sound device. (e.g. Reatlek High Definition Audio) Double-click it.
  2. Go to the tab 'Details' and click the drop-down list. Select 'Driver key' and copy the text from 'Value'
  3. Copy the text into a word processor (e.g. Notepad)
  4. Replace all lower-case letters with capital letters and remove the \0000.
  5. Open Registry Editor (Windows + R > regedit) and locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network.
  6. Create a new key (Rightclick > New > Key)
  7. Copy the text from your word processor and paste it into the key name.
  8. Edit the '(Default)' key and type 'Sound, video and game controllers'.
  9. Create a new key called 'AudioEndpointBuilder', 'MMCSS' and 'Audiosrv'

  11. Restart your computer
  12. Go to Services (Windows + R > services.msc) and start Multimedia Class Scheduler and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder.

This has been tested and functioning properly on an Acer Aspire desktop. This workaround may not work with Windows XP.

Locate the connector where the CRT plugs in. If it plugs in to a separate card, that's the graphics card. If it plugs in directly to the motherboard then the graphics card is integral to the motherboard.
