2.1.1. Identify Your Old PC Sound System
Check the back of your computer in the area of PCI slots (usually toward the bottom (on the tower
and mini tower cases) or to the right side (on desktop cases). All the connectors line up in one row
on a 4-inch end bracket (similar to your Dynamic Edge end bracket).
Figure 1
Look for the standard soundcard connectors. The standard labels for the connectors are shown in
Figure 1 .
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 two rows.
Figure 2 shows
examples of on-board audio connectors.
