| The line in to my on-the board soundcard does not work. So, i was thinking of installing a cheap card like Soundblaster so i can post music online. The problem is, i only have one slot. And if i change the jumper for a acrd then my Wintel modem won't work. So what can i do? Is there any card that has a modem built on it? |

You could get an extenal modem.
It uses a Com port.

Slots all full? What else do you have in there?
Just get a new sound card, they are only $25 for the basic ones.

This is a computer that has the sound and graphics on the board. Other than that there is only 1 expansion slot. Directions say that if you install a soundcard and change the jumper the modem will be disconnected.
I have a USB port open, and a serial port (com). Which is best for modem? Also, i can install a PCI or ISA sound card. 16 bit is fine with me. Should i go cheap and get an ISA off eBay? Or stay with a PCI? |

| Have you gone into the mixer control panel and enabled the line input on your soundcard? It may be muted. Make sure you are in the recording tab under advanced. |

| My Computer came with an on board Sound card. I disabled it in the BIOS setup and put a Sound Blaster Live in and it works great and has very good sound quality. It cost aprox $100 1 year ago. |
