did you disable your original card in the bios if builtin to motherboard? did you load the drivers for new card?

does the pc have onboard sound? if you just put the card in & not load the drivers then that explains the yellow exclamation mark.

the fact you are getting sound but still have exclamation mark means you have 2 soundcards, builtin & slot. the new pci card should have come with a cd, did it?

hi

now an update....i opened up the config though f2 then i disables the
"sound".this controls the whole soundcard that integrated in my comp-
ter.this turns off the on board soundcard allowing me to install the
new card no fuss no muss.thanks.
