Hey, I recently purchased aforementioned sound card, I was wondering if anyone could recommend me in how feasible, swapping the LED would be, and recommending me the exact green led with correct Voltage and size to install. Also, how crucial is the cover in an average case to prevent sound distortion etc! Thanks.

Looks like swapping it would be easy enough, but are you sure you can handle it if you're not familiar with how LEDs work?

I have looked into it and I am experienced in PCB soldering so shouldn't be too much of an issue, I have done my research in LED's but am still unsure as to whether I need a certain volt LED, or if one such as a standard 3mm will do, I have read stories about burned out and damaged boards due to this. Thanks for the reply.

Well, if you can't find the spec of the LED they use, then you could always remove one from the board and test it by putting different voltages through it, then get one to match.
