This is a new dell and has the following: Vista 256MB Radeon HD 2600 XT 8 Channel Dolby Sound Blaster Audigy MB Audio __________ Can someone please tell me which one is my soundcard? Down by my clock the icon says "Speakers- Realtek High Definition Audio "and another icon says "Realtex HD Audio Mangager" What is this Realtek? Part of one of the things I listed above? Is this Realtek my soundcard?
right click on my computer icon , properties, hardware, device manager, click on + sign next to device you are interest in
I just did that and in device manager under Sounds it says the following High Definition Audio Device ( clicking on that says manufacturer is Microsoft ) RealTek High Definition Audio ( clicking on that says manufacturer is Realtek) I don't see anywhere Sound Blaster and now that I see those two listed in Device Manager I still don't know which is my sound card. Thanks for your help.
Sounds about right. Im also pretty sure realtek is the onboard sound. I think you disable onboard sound in the bios or it might be in the device manager.
