I don't think, that will be any problem. My problem is that I don't know the model number of my Sound Card. It's an 'Enter' sound card with creative chip. I tried everything I can to make it work. Now I am using in-built sound card. But it have compatibility issues with my Mic.

Try this. Right Click desktop and select change background option. And got to the effects tab. Then select normal or the other option. You will be asked to install driver.
