Sound and graphics card issues.

[krisosha]

Hey guys, so two questions:

1. The back headphone and mic ports on my mac pro 1.1 have stopped working, whats the best budget pci-e audio card that will work with it (and bootcamp too)?

2. The 560 ti goes in and works perfect but doesn't line up properly, yes it is correctly in the slot. Is there any way to fix this?

I once had a Mac Mini with a defective audio board. I ended up getting a cheap USB sound card (under $5) and it worked out of the box. No additional drivers needed. I have no idea of how well it works in Windows.

I didn't realize those ones would work in osx, Thanks!

Edit: Just ordered one

You should re-install the card and make sure it is seated proper in the 1st slot, don't forget to put back the lock-plate! This doesn't look good! GL
