roll back the driver
The best way to reset the sound card driver is to go to Device Manager (My PC -> left-click -> Manage), and disabling the main sound card driver and re-enabling it. This way you don't need to restart the computer, what could be a pain if some legacy game just crashed and froze your sound in an endless loop.
Your computer's sound card controls the sound coming out of your speakers. When your sound card is damaged, your sound will be distorted.
The purpose of a sound card on a computer is for sound to be output through speakers or headphones. The sound card works by converting digital data to sound.
You cannot play any sound without a sound card.

Check your speakers if that's not it restart your web browser.
Card Sound Bridge was created in 1926.
sound card
NOTE: this reply for PC only. The new card is trying to hold some resource that another part is trying to grab - since it's not even booting up it's probably grabbing the resources of the video subsystem (video card most often) if the screen doesn't come up right after you turn it on OR the it's grabbing the resources for the hard drive controller (which would stop boot of OP System.) You should take the new card out, close the computer, start it up, record the present settings (you can find in control panel in any windows after windows 95) and if you can change the video card to an empty number try that. Restart computer to be sure it worked. Shut it down, insert sound card. Boot up. If that doesn't work, see if you can change where the hard drive controller points to; close it, restart. If it works, close and turn off, reinstall new sound card. If you can change the sound card now to something different than video or hard driver controllers old numbers, do so. Now change the video back (if it was changed) or revert the hard drive controller. Restart.
If your sound card is built into the motherboard, it is an intergrated sound card. Anything else is seperate, and easily replaced.
No, a sound card is a physical piece of hardware.
