Disable onboard sound

How do I disable onboard sound on a KT4 Ultra?  I have Bouston Acoustic (sold by gateway) speakers that require Direct Digital Output to work and it does not seem to be supported by c-media. So I have to install my soundblaster Live!  Can anyone help me either disable on-board sound or get the on-board to support Direct Digital output?
Thanks

you can uninstall the drivers for the onborad sound.  To reinstall your sound blaster remove it from Device Manager and restart your machine and follow the makers instructions, either point the system to the drivers or use the installer, which ever they recommend.

  • Will not boot after disabling onboard sound

    I am trying to install an SB Audigy2 ZS sound card but each time I disable the onboard sound card, I cannot boot my system. It will not boot to CD either.  I have tried disabling with SB Audigy2 ZS card installed and without the card installed. I am using the third PCI slot since the video card uses the first slot's space.
    I tried it without 2 of my hard drives in case I was running low on power, but still will not boot.
    Any ideas?

    i have the newer mobo and also have audigy zs it install just right for me but i have it in pci slot 4 (the last one on my mobo) your manual of your mobo will tell you which pci share the same irq ..but when i had your version of mobo i still had it in slot 4 so try pci 4 or 5 to see if that resolves your problem it souds like your video card and sound card are tying to share the same irq which is a big no no

  • Disabling onboard sound on K8T Neo?

    Hello,
    I'm probably being really stupid here but I just can't seem to find the BIOS setting to disable the onboard sound. Can't find it on any of the BIOS pages, can't find it in the manual and there doesn't seem to be a dipswitch on the board itself.
    Anyone?
    TIA

    I must have looked through that menu 20 times and not noticed the submenu. Cos it's in yellow rather than white I read it as a title rather than a menu item.
    I am stupid. Cheers.

  • [Athlon64] Unable to disable onboard sound

    I had upgraded my bios (a good while ago the version escapes me at the moment) to fix the problem I had been having with my 2 512 mb sticks of ram running at slower speeds or crashing the system and I just noticed that a setting to turn off onboard sound is missing (or I just can't find it).

    If you have installed Bios version 2.2 then try dropping back to 2.0. 2.2 has some serious issues that have not been addressed as yet.

  • Should I disable onboard sound when..

    Should I disable the onboard audio and stuff when I install the X-Fi. I installed my X-Fi some time ago and have never had any hardware problems with it, however recently I was in the BIOS options area (F2 at the splashscreen I think) and saw the option for disable onboard audio. Will it improve my system if I do disable it or will it require a reinstall of my soundcards driver and stuff. Any response is appreciated.

    Well,
    You're supposed to disable it, Yes. Your system needs to know wich card you will use. May create conflict if you have both enabled. Yes, disable it.

  • Any known compatibility issues with disabling onboard sound and using

    I have the K7 N2 board and disabled on board sound in the bios to use my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Sound seems to work fine in Windows Xp and the few games I have installed so far. My problem is with UT2003. When I try to launch the game I get the splash screen then it simply goes away. When I checked the system folder and looked at the debug log it shows the following.

    I am able to run UT in safe mode without sound. I yanked my Santa Cruz card and uninstalled the drivers and tried with on board but still had the same problem. Since disabling the sound allows me to play, it has to do something with either the on board or my card or some sort of incompatibility between the two. Anyone know of any issues? On a side note. If I was to wipe my drive and use the on board is the quality of the sound as good as using a separate card? Any help would be appreciated.

    Just a follow up...I figured I could spend countless hours trying to figure out why UT wouldn'l load or spend 3 hours wiping the disk and reinstalling software. The latter proved to be worth it. My preference would have been not to install any of the audio drivers at all, but since they are bundled with the system drivers there is really no choice.  The one thing I did differently was not to install the live drivers from the disk that came with my board  but rather update to the newer Nforce 2 system driver dated 2/25/2003.
    So the install went Xp Pro, Sp1, Video drivers,  newest system drivers, disable on board sound in bios, Santa Cruz drivers then UT2003 and the game loads fine. I still get the message about the game port not having enough resources but that can be ironed out.
    Hopefully this information can help someone else out who might experience conflicts going forward.
     A side note..I find that with two network cards (3Com and on board) that Xp will spend about  three mintues after it loads non responsive as it looks for the other network connection. Running the network wizard on box 1 connected to the internet and creating the network disk and running it on the other machine allowing the on board card to see the network and eliminates the painful lull after Xp load to the time I can do anything.
    Thanks for the timely responses. I'm really enjoying this board. So many options, so little time.

  • K8T Neo / Disable onboard sound

    Does anyone know how to disable the onboard Realtek sound through BIOS. I am about to install an Audigy 2 ZS Platnium and I don't want any conflicts. Thanks in advance for any help on this topic.

    Make sure you uninstall any realtek sound drivers before you install the Audigy 2 ZS. You may want to run driver cleaner to ensure you eliminate the Realtek audio completely. Also, be sure you're not running an AV when you install the Creative drivers and software.

  • K7N2 Delta Onboard Sound Disable Question

    I have a K7N2 Delta motherboard with a MSI FX5600 256MB DDR video card.  I am currently using the onboard audio.  Ever since I first built this computer I have been having nearly every game I play on it lock up and freeze.  I am thinking that it is a sound issue that is causing this problem, so I want to install a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live.  I have several questions that I hope someone can answer as I have exhausted all avenues and still don't have any answers.  Here are my questions:
       1.  How do I disable the onboard sound?  ie  Which jumper is it and what are the
            jumper settings?
       2.  Which PCI slot is recommended for installing the sound card so that I won't
            any IRQ conflicts?
       3.  Is this actually an audio problem or is there something else wrong with this
            motherboard or video card?
    This is becoming very frustrating because when the computer locks up all I can do is just reset without shutting down.  I'm becoming more and more worried that if this continues unabated I'm going to crash the hard drive and have to replace it only to have the problem persist.  I hope someone can give me specific answers to my questions.  Thank you in advance for your help.

    First. Is it K7N2 Delta-L or Delta-ILSR (the one with an actual Soundstorm chip on it)? If you have the actual Soundstorm chip, use it! It will sound much better than an SBLive. Assuming you have the normal K7N2 Delta-L like I have:
    1. To disable the onboard sound, first uninstall the drivers for it, then you need to go into the BIOS by holding the Delete key while you boot up. Then find the section "Integrated Peripherals" and in that section "Onboard Devices". Press Enter and find AC97 Audio and disable it. There are no jumpers.
    2. PCI slots 1, 2 and 3 are usually not shared with other stuff like you AGP or USB ports. PCI Slot 3 is the ideal choice. 1 is usually covered by your video card fan anyway. For the SBLive, on Windows XP/2000, get the newest drivers from Creative Labs. The file is named "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" and it's file size is 23.3 MB (24,451,404 bytes). They have fixed the "nforce2 + gameport incompatibility".
    3. The problem may be audio related...or not. Which drivers are/were you using for your onboard audio? nvidia or Realtek? Actual Soundstorm chip or crappy software codec? It could also be video card related. Fastwrites? 8x or 4x AGP?

  • How do I disable the onboard sound in CMOS?

    I have a KT4 Ultra, and I want to disable the onboard sound so I can use my own Soundblaster card.  How do I do this?  I've looked through the BIOS, and nothing seems to stand out.  Do I have to do it on the board itself?

    I just downloaded the KT4 Ultra book and will run you thorugh what you have to do....
    Your board has "C-Media 8738MX 6-channel audio with SPDIF out" so you will have to disabled it in Bios if you want to use a PCI sound card.
    1.  Reboot your PC and press "DELETE" to enter Bios.
    2.  Select "Integrated Peripherals"
    3.  Scroll down until you see "OnBoard PCI Controller" and then "Audio Controller".  (It's last on the list!).
    4.  Select "DISABLED"
    5.  Select "SAVE & EXIT SETUP".
    6.  Turn off your PC.
    7.  Put your new PCI Sound Card in...I recommend PCI Slots 2-5.  Try to keep PCI 1 and 6 clear....
    8.  Reboot.  Your OS will go into "FOUND NEW HARDWARE".  Wait until it's done.  
    9.  Put your new PCI Sound card driver CD in and load the new drivers....REBOOT.
