there's a good chance, if he isn't into upgrading comptuers, it's not a seperate card.. but with a free (open) PCI slot and 30 dollars (if the comp doesn't have a warranty) the problem can be solved... i know when my computer developed problems i'd have to send it back to the company, and the estimate i was given was 6 weeks (shipping) that's not even including however long it took the people to get the problem diagnosed and fixed... and i had to pay the shipping costs (even with the warranty!!!) i'd rather pay the 30 bucks for a new sound card then paying all the shipping costs lol..
