Can't put sound card in

[farhanorakzai]

I'm trying to put in my xonar dg sound card in my motherboard, but it won't go into the motherboard so I can screw it in

[Archangel1994]

If it is not properly in the slot then do not screw it in. Don't even try it

What connector does the sound card use? Older ones might be PCI...

Rampage iv extreme

[Enderman]

Are you sure youre putting the sound card into a PCI slot?

NOT a PCI-e slot.

 

 

Rampage iv extreme

 

The rampage 4 extreme has PCIe slots NOT PCI slots...they are not compatible.

[Tech_Dreamer]

define , it does not go in. *no pun intended* *alright maybe a bit* , maybe the slot is jammed with dustbunnies or other like ants (it happens) ,

[Trophywolfe]

dont put a standard pci card in the pcie lane or your gonna fuck it up

[farhanorakzai]

Whaa?

I'm trying to put this sound card into that pci slot

[Trophywolfe]

[Aniallation]

I'm trying to put this sound card into that pci slot

That's a PCI Express slot. You can't use it with that PCI sound card.

[Trophywolfe]

I'm trying to put this sound card into that pci slot

thats a pci express slot very different in both size and bandwidth capabilities

Different slots. Incompatible. You can't use that sound card.

Shit happens to all of us. Why do you even need a soundcard anyways?
You dont have a low-grade motherboard so you dont have to compensate for it.

[farhanorakzai]

Shit happens to all of us. Why do you need a soundcard anyways? Your motherboard have good audio anyways.

On board sound is not working

you can't sorry, but i wouldn't bother since that mobo have a badass sound incorporated already.

You can't use it... You'll want to hope you can return it otherwise you've just wasted money.

 

Maybe this will encourage you to check next time, it takes a few minutes to check with people on this forum or better yet, it takes a matter of seconds to Google this stuff before you buy something.

I did check here. I was told to buy this sound card

That sucks man. You want the dgx model for pci-e.

Still, it doesn't hurt to check Google as well.

Either there is a PCIE version of this card and you bought the wrong one, or some moron on this board doesn't know his arse from his elbow and gave you a bum steer.

 

Also, that soundcard you picked kinda sucks. If you want truly better-than-onboard audio out of a soundcard you need to spend $200.

 

HT | OMEGA eClaro 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card

That's my reccomendation.

The on board sound stopped working. I just need something to replace it with

[creatip123]

The DG got 2 variant, DG is the basic one, PCI connection, DGX is the PCIe version. Exactly the same board, just different interface.

 

Try to exchange it (adding money) to get the PCIe version, the DGX, which is about $10 more, I think? Stores tend to accept exchanges if you add some money (exchange with pricier one)
