If the sound system is integrated on the motherboard, usually, the connectors are similar to the 
add-on card, but they are not on a bracket. They might be stacked up in one or two rows. 
Figure 2 shows examples of on-board audio connectors.  

 

 

 

 

If your PC does not have any type of sound system, proceed to 2.2.5. Installing the new 
Soundcard section of this manual. 

If you know your PC has an add-on soundcard skip to 2.2.4. Uninstalling the Old Soundcard 
and Drivers section of this document. 

If you know your PC has integrated sound system skip to 2.2.3. Disabling the Integrated Sound 
section of this manual. 

To disable your integrated sound (on-board audio) you will have to enter the system BIOS utility.  
Warning: Do not alter any other settings of your BIOS, or your system may not function properly. 
Refer to your system documentation on how to activate the BIOS utility.

Once you have disabled the on-board audio, proceed to 2.2.5. Installing the new Soundcard

Uninstall the drivers for any previously installed soundcards. This is very important and failure to 
do so may result in improper operations of the Ultimate Edge soundcard. Please uninstall the 
driver before removing the old soundcard from your PC. Consult the documentation of your old 
soundcard for details. Appendix B contains some useful general instructions on how to uninstall 
the old audio drivers. 

After you remove the old audio drivers, turn off your computer and disconnect the power cable 
and all devices that are connected to the computer.  

1.

 

Always hold the soundcard by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic components on the 
soundcard. 

2.

 

Use a grounding strap or touch any non-painted surface of your computer chassis before 
you begin installation to discharge static electricity.
