Can I change to another soundcard

Hi,
Just purchased my new laptop - it's a HP  G50-209CA and apparently the sound card is a Connexant and it sucks to be totally honest.  Since I am using this laptop for music performances (using Sonar to pipe out stereo audio to M-Audio hardware and then to an amp) I am going to need a better sound card.  Please tell me I can purchase a better quality sound card and get it installed or am I stuck with what I have.
There is not even a mixer with this sound card, it's pitiful.
Thanks for any and all input.

Laptop sound systems do generally suck. I have set up several DJs who want to use their laptops as a sound studio or basis for performances and I always advise to get an external usb sound card. I own a couple of them. One looks like a small memory stick and just has a headphone jack but it cranks so I can use it with a powerpoint projector and fill a room with sound. Turtle Beach makes it and I think I paid maybe $30 for it. My other one is a true external...it is a box about the size of a pack of cigarettes made by creative called an MP3+
Creative MP3+
This has all the ports you would need...spdif, etc.
There is no way to change the actual sound system of the laptop internally...it is soldered to the board. When you plug in one of these usb sound cards they take over from the onboard sound. 
There are also likely to be expresscard sound cards and I also have a pcmcia sound card in my bag of accessories.

  • I already have my itunes library on a nas, i currently sync with one computer, can i change to another computer on the same network and sync with that one instead?

    changing the synch computer when the itunes library is on a nas device

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced

    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Can you change the search engine in iPad Safari?

    iPad Safari is set to use Google in the upper right search field.
    Can you change to another search engine other than Google like you can in regular Safari on or Macs?

    Yes, and those might be available through some of the alternative browsers available in the App Store. In addition, iOS provides a range of ways you can filter web content there in Settings. I've not played with it but it looks as though you could exert some control that way.

  • Single open tab, Click "x" to close, browser defaults to a web page for my bank. How can I change to "blank" or some other page?

    Have a single open tab. Regardless of the website active in that tab, if I close it (click "x"), FF shows my bank's homepage. I'd prefer not to display my bank homepage. How can I change to another page or, preferably, a "blank" page?
    This happens regardless of the page current when I close the single tab and after I close and restart FF. Haven't tried rebooting computer.

  • How can I change the color of all folders from light blue to another color?

    My computer was just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and now all the file folder icons are pale blue on the desktop and elsewhere. My desktop is green and those light blue folders do not look good on a green background.
    How can I change the color of the folder icons to another color?

    Hi ys,
    You appear to have taken a wrong turn on the information highway and would up in the backwater known as the AppleWorks forum. This is a place for discussion of issues and techniques connected with the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
    Yours is a System question, concerned with how to accomplish something in the Finder, part of the Mac OS X software you recently upgraded. The question will be better served in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard section of discussions. The link will take you to that section, where I'd suggest using the Finder and Dock forum.

  • How Can I change a report with base in another in the same dashboard?

    Hi,
    I need to publish two reports in a dashboard, the first report is a list of values and the second report is a chart. When I click in a value of the first report, the second report must change with the value selected from the first report.
    I first created the first report, and I changed the column properties in the data format, I selected treat text as: "Custom Text Format", the Custom Text Format is:
    @[html]"<f ont class=Nav oncl ick=\"Ja vaScr ipt:GoNav(event, '/path/reporte2','TABLE','FIELD','"@"');\">"@"< /fo nt>";;@
    The second Report has the next filter: FIELD is equal to / is in @{NQ_SESSION.@}
    With this the first and second reports works well, however, when I include the two reports in dashboard, the second report is updated in another window not in the same section.
    How Can I change the second report in the same page or section where this the first report?
    Thanks
    Edwin Guerrero

    I am not sure whether this would work but worth a try. Create a third report which would call the 2nd report using iframe and GO URL. Name the iframe of the narrative view. And use the java script to update the iframe using objWin = window.open(<ur go url>, “biee”,”height=480,width=240,scrollbars=yes,resizeable=yes”);. I had used a similar method to integrate biee with mapviewer.

  • HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

    HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

    you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
    Hope this helps

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • The page won,t open I get the settings were changed by another application message. It keeps appearing to I can't work with the diagnosics

    The page won't open when I click on the firefox icon I go to system preferences for dianostics and "the settings have been changed by another application" I can't close that message to keep on working.

    Are you referring to a wireless router, such as an Airport Express? If so, and you bought a different router, you will need to set up the new router according to their instructions. With my Netgear, I had to go to their online website (they should have the URL listed in the instructions) and set it up there because the software that comes with routers is not compatible with Macs.
    If you're talking about something else, then please let me know - I've just never heard of an Airport modem.

  • Can a button change to another state and remain there, and also go to a URL?

    Hi --
    I've been wracking my brain and scouring the internet since yesterday to find a solution to this...It seems easy enough, but I'm at a loss...maybe I'm over thinking it and it's simply not possible?
    We have a button that we want to, when clicked, change to another state, remain there, and also use a navto to go to another page within the publication...is this possible?
    We've tried doubling up the actions of the button, using fake buttons, etc. all without success. What we have it at now is...you can tap to navto, and the button does change, but it reverts back to it's previous state in that moment between releasing the button and actually jumping to the page we want it to go to.
    The only explanation I've come up with is based on the information on this page: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-8ad81e812b10bfd837-80 00.html -- that because the two actions I want to accomplish fall into the two different categories: Supported actions for hyperlink buttons and Supported actions for slideshow buttons, that this simply isn't possible?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kristina

    No, that's not supported with multiple actions. You can't switch a state and then jump to another document.

    My slide presentation (with songs) is done. How can I change one song from another?

    Do you still have your Aperture Slideshow project? Then open the slideshow and select the one of the green audio file clips in the film strip that you want to replace. Press the "delete" key and drag another audio file from the Media Browser directly onto the slide, where the sound should start.
