Two sound cards

[hishamelprince]

I have an AC97 built-in sound card and a sound blaster PCI card, so is there any way to make them work together? Because now when i want one of them to work i have to disable the other from device manager.
Thanks

Please change your topic line to something more meaningful than "Question?". It's called topic line for a reason

I haven't tried it but...

Go to Control Panel >> Sound and Audio Devices >> Audio tab.

Change the Sound playback Default device to the card of your choice (w/o disabling either in Device Manager). See if that works.

How do you want them to work together? Both outputting? Or one for listening, one for recording?

Both outputting

I don't think you can do that, that's why there's a "Default Sound Device" in Control Panel. Some applications can choose what card to output through, however.

Yeah, I think you have to choose one or the other at a time. I'm not totally sure on it since I have never tried it myself, but I think that's how it works.

What are you trying to do hishamelprince? Maybe we can come up with a different solution for you.
