Thread: Sound card 1/2 KAPUT!

My sound card sounds choppy on the left stereo because I was recording from my TV to and audio editor called GoldWave. When I record on my computer using stereo or mono the speaker refuses to function, I only get one side sound. Worse now most recently it is giving a 'poof' noise, or a blowing noise when sound comes out the speakers.

I knakered it by having a current running around a scart lead near the connector and needless to say I think there was some sort of electromagnetic induction and added too many volts to the sound card and popped it a bit. Should I get a new sound card and if so could someone help me install it into my computer? I've never replaced a sound card before.

Cheers,

SVWillmer.

Hey, it sounds as if it needs replacement. Is it a desktop or a laptop?
