I could not put the asrock card on slot 3 like the directions say cause the graphic card fans are in the way.
My question is does it matter what slot I put in?
Reason is I can't get no sound
Please help

The ASRock Game Blaster should work in any of the PCI Express slots, it will certainly do no harm to try it. It will either work or it won't. I haven't been able to ascertain why ASRock says you must use only one particular slot when there's six of them.

One of the slots is PCI-E x1, the other five are all PCI-E x16, so maybe the Game Blaster will only work in the PCI-E x1 slot, and there's only one of them so you've no choice. Just guessing on that due to lack of specific information which I can't find one there website. No surprises there. I bought an ASRock mobo last year and the manual they supplied with it was for a totally different model. Good job it's downloadable.

All you can do is try it in another slot and see if it works...
