Install the Sound Card
After you have removed the PCIe shield, start installing the sound card. Follow these steps:
- To install successfully, you need to match the sound card with the PCIe slot. Make sure the angle is correct.
- The sound card's gold connectors should face the motherboard.
- The external control panel should face the PC tower's rear panel.
- Open the locked PCIe slot before installing the expansion card. The slot will automatically lock and snap into place.
- To ensure a secure connection, I recommend checking the alignment and gently pressing the sound card into the PCIe slot until you hear a click.
Once the Sound Card installation is finished you also have a dedicated internal sound card. For added safety, double-check your connection settings to make sure they are truly error-free.
