Just what I asked for!

★★★★☆

"I used it to replace the audio circuits built in to the motherboard in my Pavillion. The built-in would not work when I dumped VISTA and loaded XP. The PC manufacturer was not interested in helping me figure out how to get the built-in working with XP. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
