    The internal sound card is integrated onto the motherboard. You will not be able to replace it without replacing the motherboard (unless you're VERY good with soldering tools). That being said, is it just the audio jack that's broken, or is it actually the sound "card" itself?

    I think purchasing a new sound card in the form of an ExpressCard might be cheaper.
