No, i bought it off ebay so none came with it, the other odd thing is it is a PCI card which fits in the slot but there is a gap at the end so it fits but is too short, i'm not sure if this is the problem? It is a yamaha sound card im pretty sure. Have i set it up properly with the correct leads?

Verify the brand of the sound card. You cannot assume or you will have more trouble trying to make this work.

Are you sure its PCI and not PCI-e?
