How to remove an existing sound card in Windows 7

RegistryBooster 2010 - You no longer need to guess! This free stability scan will help you clean, repair and optimize your system in an easy way.



If you have an existing internal sound card, you should remove it before installing the new card. If your computer has a built-in sound processor, you can proceed to the "To install your new sound card" section of this topic.

1. Locate your sound card. If you're not certain which card is your sound card, follow the wires from your speakers to the back of the card, and then note which slot that card is in.

2. Unplug any speaker and microphone cables from the back of the sound card.

3. If there's a cable inside your computer connecting the sound card to your CD drive, disconnect it. Many newer computers don't have this cable, so if it's not there, you can skip this step.

4. Remove any screw or hook holding your sound card in place.

5. Carefully pull the sound card straight out of the slot. Be careful not to twist or bend the card as you remove it.

6. If you're not installing a new sound card, install a slot cover if you have one, and replace the screw. Then, close the computer case and replace any screws you removed when opening the case.
