let me ask a few questions that i should have asked before....(sorry...i always take 12 steps before i hit number 1).

is this an additional sound card? (like a pci sound card)
or is it onboard? (built into the motherboard)
the easiest way to tell is to see where you plug the speakers in...
do you plug the speakers in somewhere near where the power cord of the computer plugs in? or down lower closer to the bottom of the box?


and to answer your question...the motherboard is the main board that holds everything that attatches to your machine. it should be listed as motherboard or mainboard. also could you list what shows up for chipset.

The sound is built in. The speakers are plugged into the motherboard about half-way down with everything else that is connected. The main plug is at the very top of the board. Aileen.

[Aileen Delahunty]

What list do you want from chipset. There was reams of it. Which header should I look for a report for? You really know a lot about this. It is my lucky night for looking for help. Aileen.

[dsenette]

basically the name of the chipset....should be the first thing listed on the first part that mentions chipset

[Aileen Delahunty]

Sorry, I am at a loss where to start. Where do I look for a 'chipset'. What do i click on? I am a 45yr old beginner. Dont laugh. Please help. Aileen.

[dsenette]

i got a version to run...(hopefully the older version and the newer version compare properly) under menu you should have computer with a little + next to it...click the +, click summary and list whats next to motherboard name

[Aileen Delahunty]

Sorry to be such a fool but how do I post the report. Aileen. Great of you to offer to sift through it. Aileen.

[dsenette]

theres a button on the toolbar called report, i think if you click that i will make a full report...just copy and paste it

[Aileen Delahunty]

I will probably have to part ways now as 'copy and paste' and then post to you is far above my capabilities. Thank You. Aileen.

[dsenette]

hehe...dont give up so easy....to copy it...just highlight all the text...and press ctrl and v then start a reply to the thread and press ctrl and p

[Aileen Delahunty]

Sorry, nothing happens except my printer wants to print everything when I press ctrl + p. Pure idiot. Aileen.

:blush:Thank you for all your help. I'm sorry that I can't do the rest but some day maybe, and I will try to get on to you again. You were very helpful. My computer now makes sounds that I thought I would never hear again. Aileen.
