Sound for the Childrens computer

I discussed the problem of lack of sound on the children’s computer with my tutor. He suggested that I change the sound card, there were some old soundcards in the computer lab which were obsolete and to be thrown out.

I took the cover off the computer

and slotted the new sound card into position.

I then tried the computer to see if the sound worked

On first start up the speaker symbol appeared in the task bar at the bottom of the screen, but no sound. I restarted the computer, on second start up, sound became available on the computer.

Whilst the cover was off I decided to blow the computer with compressed air to remove the dust from the ciruit boards and fans.
