How or where do you disable the sound chip in the Bios I cannot find it anywhere under any sub menu. I have installed a sound card but I need to disable the sound chip on the board. Can someone please help me out here

Thanks in anticipation

:)
 
It will be under onboard devices or something similar. You can just leave it enabled, install the driver, and select your other sound card in the sound options within windows. It wont bother you again ;)
 
Thanks peeps - listen this is the problem I have an overclockers pc asus mobo and for some reason and I will keep it short. the sound stopped. I looked in bios to see if I could find to see if there was a problem as when I went into device manager there where loads of question marks. Couldnt find it so went into sound on the control panel and it said there was no device found? So installed the mobo drivers that came with the pc ... when the disc ran it first said no drivers where installed for the sound. After it installed I tried again and once more zilch no sound..
Next thing was to get a cheap pci sound card I put that in and hey presto windows recognises this sound card but yet again there is no sound. The speakers work as just took them off my pc to put on this one as its my sons.

So even after going on the asus website locating my mobo and installing all the drivers again I am back to square one no freaking sound:confused::confused:
Has anyone got a cunning plan to get this machine back up and playing some groovy tunes.

I posted this just in case there was a sneaky key that the chip was under in the bios and I had missed it...
HELP
 
if you could tell us which board someone can tell you exactly what to do, most of the older asus boards use the AC97 audio driver. Make sure you haven't acidentally muted the systems sound, and you have the speaker in the right output from the mobo :)
 
i'd check your speakers and mute button first. Why would the sound suddenly fail?

Unless you've been recently swtiching off devices via control panel or startup?
