Ok, I had a problem with my other sound card. So I got another from the same company. When I installed the drivers for this new sound card, it play even worse than the other one ( this one is suppost to be newer). They say that the older drivers must be uninstalled first; the older drivers are conflicting with the new sound card. But I can't quite :confused: figure out how to uninstall the drivers with out screwing something else up on my computer. Please help.

Well, you will have to uninstall the older driver inorder to use the new one. So the easiest thing to do would be to uninstall both drivers. First you would probably uninstall the new one. And then make sure that there are no audio devices (made by that same company) in the device manager. If there is one then uninstall it.
After all that reinstall the new audio driver for a fresh audio start.
Hope that helped

Check in add/remove programs in Control Panel to see if there is any software related to your sound card. If so, remove it. Then go to control panel/system/device manager and delete all entries there related to your sound card. Reboot, and if your computer tries to redetect the sound card, point it to the new drivers you got.
