Sound card installed with a little modification to the bracket, which had to be done carefully as it's held onto the card by only two screws and looked like twisting might break the card. However, drivers worked fine and I have sound again, which is all I wanted.

I didn't know what was causing my computer not to have sound. I was about to go to Geek Squad in the Best Buy store to help. A helpful sales associate advised me to try adding a sound card for only 20 bucks ....this worked and so easy to install. I am not tech repair savvy.

A decent card to upgrade onboard sound on older PC's or to replace when onboard gives out.

Incorrect product for my computer

The 2 Best Buy computer guys were of opposing opinions as to whether this sound card would work in the computer they were selling me. That is a little sad, since I have an expectation that someone in the computer department will know these things. In any case it is an older card and the only one they had, so I'll have to return it.

The Diamond sound card did what it is supposed to do, powered my speakers and put sound to my videos. It was easy to install and would recommend it for anyone needing a basic sound card.

Well it's certainly a thing and sure it works. It was definitely over priced for 20 year old technology, but hey that's Best Buy! Needed it in a pinch. So if you need to upgrade your sound blaster card this is a great choice!!
