Product: HP500 mini tower
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
Hi All,
I have an older mini-tower (HP500, Win7x64) that is primarily used to play music, via green line out, to a Bose Wave's aux input. It just quit playing sounds of any type after years of flawless operation. I can open "sounds" in the CP and watch the db output meters moving, yet no sound. The Bose is fine, at least the radio input. I plan on further testing with another speaker system as soon as I find one, but I have a gut feeling the internal sound chip is dead.
Assuming it is dead, what card is recommended and do they just "plug and play" after finding the drivers?
TIA!
Russ
