Would any1 be kind enough to explain me how to install a soundcard?

Just baught 1 today, wanna get rid of that onboard sound.

I guess I know how to plug it into the PCI slot, but I dunno what to do then, the guy in the shop said I have to do something in BIOS in order to disable onboard sound.
I'm scared of it :[

Any good tutorials/sites ? OR someone could join #reliably.et and pm me to explain it step by step!

10x def

edit: LoL 1st google hit for once helped me!

thanks anyways!

def, go to ur bios, check if onboard sound is activated
if its activated at next windows-startup u´ll get a message "found new hardware" and "insatlling drivers" - should work automatically
if not, go to ur hardware-manager and klick on "search for new hardware" - if he cant find ur card there its not installed correctly (check cables and stuff then)

you can have installed both, the onboard and the new one. It doesn't matter and doesn't affect the performance of your system.

or

go into your bios and look for the option "onboard sound" and set it to disable

it's not that hard :D
