5. Software Installation
Before you are installing the software and driver for Prodigy X-Fi NRG, you should make sure to
have the latest chipset drivers installed for your mainboard and Windows version. You can usually
find those drivers on the website of the manufacturer of your computer and / or the motherboard of
your PC.
Also it might be better in most cases to disable any unused onboard devices in BIOS of your
computer (i.e. the onboard soundcard if you intend to no longer use it after installing Prodigy X-Fi
NRG). If you are unsure about this, you might want to ask a computer specialist for help.
