Windows Soundcard

Hi all

I have a p8p67pro and want to place a new soundcard in, I was told that you can only place certain soundcards on this board is this true. Can someone please advise.

 

You can put any PCI or PCIE soundcard on it. Up to you now.

 

cheers iv'e been looking at the Asus xonar DX, just a bit twitchy about getting the right thing

 

I have a D2X and it rocks you can put a 1x PCI-E sound card in any PCI-E slot.

 

The Dx is a great value option, as Longweight as said, if you want to go all out, gwet the D2X!
What speakers will you be using though?

 

I'm getting the corsair sp2500 2.1

 

The sound card is here that i'm looking at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asustek-Xon...DM2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329677443&sr=8-1

now this is what my board supports as slots go

1 PCIe 2.0 *1_1 slot
2 PCIe 2.0 *16_1 slot (single at *16 or duel at *8/*8 mode)
3 PCI 2.0 *1_2 slot
4 PCI slot 1
5 PCIe 2.0 *16_2 slot [grey] (at 8* mode)
6 PCI slot 2
7 PCI 2.0 16_3 slot [black] (at *4 mode, compatable with PCIe and *4

now the stupid noob question I already have a graphics card in a PCIe slot and an old soundcard fitted but never worked, so what slot would you put the soundcard above in?

 

That will fit into any of the PCIe slots that you have free.

 

Great, thank you for your reply, just one more noob question do you syill have to disable the onboard sound to enable the soundcard to work?

 

Maybe depending on your board. It might happen automatically or not be needed at all. A little experimentation will find out

 

Ok thanks.
