    Ok so I got this PCI Sound card off ebay.

    Its brand new, came with a mini disk for the drivers.

    I popped it in, plugged in Trust Joystick, in the hope that my computer would recognize my new Pci Sound Card. Its solidly screwed in no problem??
    I plug my speakers into the green and pink holes, and theres this horrible little buzzing, on and off coming from my speakers now.
    Its as if my computer don't want this sound card?

    I have further issues after this problem is fixed!??
    Plz help I wanna get Me joystick up and running!

    In fact, I got this sound card for its Game/midi Port! I don't care about the sound but I know I still have to install the drivers to get the joystick working too!??

    4got to mention:
    I took out the sound card now. Before, when it was in, My RAM Went down to 512?
    How did the sound card make my RAM go down? This is not good.

    And the pics....theres plenty more were they came from!!:D

    I'm not sure about the RAM, you might want to check it's securely seated. Looks like a Realtek onboard sound card there, try turning it off before using the Creative sound card.

    No, just disable it in the BIOS. removing an integrated sound card from the motherboard isn't required.
