Can anyone tell me if adding an external sound card to an iMac will work, even though the sound card on the motherboard is fried ?
I damaged the computer while connecting a hifi input in order to use Audacity. Now the sound card has disappeared. There is a red flashing light from the output, and system profiler shows no sound is installed. There is no start-up beep so I am sure it is not just the optical socket sticking. No sound input either.
It is a 5 year old Intel iMac running Snow Leopard.
