After almost 2 years I finally got around to attempting to fix an audio problem with my G3... all the info I found suggested either replacing or re-seating the audio card...I reseated the card this weekened and now have trouble getting the machine to consistently boot up and now my USB card isn't registering ... I know I need to replace the audio card, and have one on the way, but what I wanted was some practical advice on making sure I don't mess things up worse...
my thought was to swap the audio card, remove the USB card, and get the machine going... once I'm sure the new card will take, I was thinking that re-installing the USB card would allow the machine to recognize all is as it should be and I'd have my audio back up as well... does this plan of action make sense and are there other suggestions?
The only reason I am bothering is that I got my wife an MP3 player for her birthday and it just makes sense for her to be able to hear what I have on the machine before downloading
