Sound Cards
Sound cards are devices used to output sound from a computer, and to capture it from a microphone or other device.

How do you adapt sound from a computer to a speaker?
what do the plugs look like that would normally plug into your TV? (I am assuming there are just two cords, one red, one white)
Can you download a sound card?
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?
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.
How do you download free drivers for a Toshiba Satellite A35-S159 laptop?
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.
How do you make sound work on safe mode on computer?
It is possible to make sound work on Safe Mode.
- Press Windows + R, type devmgmt.msc, press Enter and look for your sound device. (e.g. Reatlek High Definition Audio) Double-click it.
- Go to the tab 'Details' and click the drop-down list. Select 'Driver key' and copy the text from 'Value'
- Copy the text into a word processor (e.g. Notepad)
- Replace all lower-case letters with capital letters and remove the \0000.
- Open Registry Editor (Windows + R > regedit) and locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network.
- Create a new key (Rightclick > New > Key)
- Copy the text from your word processor and paste it into the key name.
- Edit the '(Default)' key and type 'Sound, video and game controllers'.
- Create a new key called 'AudioEndpointBuilder', 'MMCSS' and 'Audiosrv'
- Edit all their '(Default)' keys and type 'Service'.
- Restart your computer
- Go to Services (Windows + R > services.msc) and start Multimedia Class Scheduler and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder.
- Then start Windows Audio Service
This has been tested and functioning properly on an Acer Aspire desktop. This workaround may not work with Windows XP.
What is a port that is available on a sound card?
Lots of ports aren't found on sound cards. Examples include Ethernet, RJ-11 (telephone), USB, FireWire, USB, and typically serial or parallel ports.
What does a sound card do in a computer?
As far as I can tell it lets you hear the sounds you computer produces. Personal experience makes me think that (when I was without one I couldn't hear anything), but I could be completely wrong. Just trying to help. :)
How do you locate graphics card?
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.
What can you plug into a pci slot?
boot to Last Known Good Configuration
What does Graphic cards and sound cards do?
Sound Card
A sound card is an expansion card which is used to send and recieve the sound signals and installed in a PCI slot of the motherboard.
Graphics Card
Graphics cards are the video cards which are used to produce the images you see on a monitor screen and it is installed on the motherboard as an extra component and used to graphical data with a high quality colour display and clear appearance.
Why are sound card important to the computer system?
Sound card is an add on card (mostly PCI card) for a computer that has hardware to process sound/audio input and output to and from the computer. Most of the PC motherboards have generic sound chip on board also to process sound but many not give you as good quality and sound options what a good quality add on card can provide. Most common sound cards are made by Creative.

How do you remove write protection from a mini SD card?
Removing the Write Protection Depends on the Source of the Problem.
Broadly speaking, it can be any of the following scenarios
- There is a write-protection tab on the mini sd card HOLDER. Every time you insert this into your PC or card holder, this tab slides to the write protect position. Either keep resetting, inserting & reinserting until it doesn't slide or tape it down.
- There is nothing wrong with the mini sd card. Simply locate the write protection key and push it.
- The mini sd card has some error: Go for a low level formatting.
- The card has virus: Remove the virus. The link for the steps is present in the related link at the bottom of the article.
There is an easy way to solve this problem: Simply put the yellow lock in the middle of its slider. No sticky tape required, as shown below. But if your still having the same problem i suggest you try the sticky tape.
Problem is only that small moveable yellow lock switch is not making, just put sellotape over it maybe two layers needed to make switch.
Even though what is written below may work, the problem is probably that on the card reader (if you have one) there is a small switch that has lock written on the side. If this is pushed down, the drive is write protected, push it in the opposite direction and it may fix your problem I had the same problem with several cards but eventually found a way around it. DON'T buy a new one!
Make sure the SD card lock is 'off' and then use thin, opaque sticky tape (ie non see-through; eg insulation tape) to cover the whole gap but keep clear of the metal contacts at the back.
Your card should work fine now.
Additional Information:
- Reason #1: The mechanical lock switch accidentally moves to the "locked" position during insertion due to the poor quality of the switch. Hence, by taping it, you are actually preventing the lock switch to travel towards the lock position. i.e. downwards.
- Reason #2: If the above fails, it is likely your SD card reader/writer's fault. But don't discard it or buy a new one yet. Allow me to explain the mechanical design of the SD card lock mechanism. So that you may choose to repair it if you want to. You will need a small paper clip and screw-driver to open your card reader. (Don't proceed if your card reader is still under warranty, please return/exchange with manufacturer) There is a mechanical switch very much like a micro push button (I wish I could show you the picture/drawing). Anyway, depending on the position of the lock switch. You either push or release this micro push button inside the SD card reader.
Due to mechanical wear and tear, or some forceful insertion of the SD card, the micro push button is in its "open" circuit position, i.e. write-protected. In order to make the SD card reader writable, we will need to "close" the circuit. (Note: this is an irreversible process as I will be telling you how to remove the write-protection feature of your SD card reader. Once you do this, you would be unable to use the SD card lock switch to lock your data. So, just be careful not to accidentally delete your data)
To proceed, you need to remove the main circuit board from the SD card reader/writer enclosure. The location of the micro push button switch is the same location as the unlock position of the SD card when inserted in the SD card reader/writer. From the BACK of the exposed SD card reader, insert the unfolded paper clip (same way when you try to poke something like a device reset button) except, that it has to be long enough to allow the micro switch to touch together for contact. Then insert the SD card. Once the contact is "closed", your SD card reader/writer can write again. I understand that without a drawing, this may not be very helpful. Please provide suggestions or better explanation if you can. Thanks.
Or, just tape the lock switch to unlocked. This also works for SD cards in normal size. back up all the files u have on ur card then follow these steps
1. Go to Control Panel
2. Go to Administrative tools
3. Go to Computer management
4. From the tree menu on the left select Disk Management
5. Now on the right side you will have a list of all storage devices connected to your computer. Select the one that is your mini SD card. BE CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING THIS BECAUSE YOU COULD FORMAT YOUR HARDDRIVE. Double check the name in My Computer
6. Right click on the SD card and select format. A new window will pop up showing format options. Select FAT32 from the file system drop down and check the quick format option and then click on OK
7. Enjoy your mini SD card without that annoying write protection
How do you set up a computer speaker system and sound card?
Plug the power plug into a wall socket and plug the jack into the green port on the back of your computer. The speakers probably have volume on them but you can change the volume from the computer if you want by pressing Start -> Control panel -> Sounds and Audio devices.
What is the function of a sound port?
Sound port is a jack that usually has a sound output and input connectors which are used to connect headphones, speakers and microphone to a computer. Laptop and computer have different combinations of audio port.
A soundcard is part of your hardware. It can be on-board, that means integrated into your mainboard, or it can be external. It generates sound, that you can hear by usually using some low-quality 3,5 mm-stereo jack speakers or headphones. The sound can be music or special effects of films or games.
A sound card typically uses with irq?
This question is irrelevant on modern PCs, and has been for roughly the past 10 years. Back in the 90s, sound cards were plugged into the ISA bus, which until the very end required manual IRQ configuration. The most common line of cards was SoundBlaster by Creative Labs, which become the de-facto standard. On a typical early SoundBlaster cards or third-party imitations, you could generally choose between IRQs 2,5,7 or 10. IRQ 2 was often reserved for the system DMA controller, and IRQ 10 wasn't always addressable on some motherboards. Many cards had a default of IRQ7, but if you turned on na ECP Parallel Port, it would conflict as well. That left IRQ5, which typically didn't have many conflicting devices with the possible exception of an internal modem that couldn't use IRQs 4 or 3 because both RS232 serial (COM) ports were already in use. There is still a debate from people who were involved at the time whether the "real" default was IRQ5 or IRQ7. It didn't matter that much then, and it doesn't matter at all now. It was simply a question of implementation on the specific model of card that you got. Later on, more advanced 16-bit and wavetable cards like the Soundblaster 16 or AWE32 and Gravis Ultrasound provided a much wider array of IRQ choices, and most could be configured via software, or configured themselves automatically. When the PCI bus replaced ISA, the entire IRQ/Address/Port range manual configuration issue became moot.
What are three components that must have the same or compatible form factor in a computer?
Case, Power Supply and Motherboard
The case must support the form factor of the motherboard, and the motherboard must support the CPU socket type for any given CPU.
