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.

  • 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.

  • Onboard 5.1 sound noisy - K8T Neo FIS2R

    Hi guys, i'm new here.
    Well, i got a K8T Neo FIS2R and the 5.1 sound is noisy. I've tried many different drivers, replaced my 5.1 speakers for new ones and it doesn't work properly at all. I've been using a  2.1 system and it works just fine. Has anyone seen this problem? any advice?
    Thanks in advance

    LOL OK you can save us time by replying to that end the next time. Thanks.
    I know it may seem trivial but I can't count how many times a suggestion was assumed to have been tried and it turned out to be the fix in the end. So if we seem grouchy about getting a reply remember that we aren't the only one's that waste time chasing stuff when no one let's us know what they have tested.
    OK back to your problem. There are no magic buttons to push. If you have tried other speakers and drivers then it is likely something on the MB that is causing the problem. It could be a power line somewhere close to a chip or connection, it could be a bad ground. If you have a Sound card handy you could also check it to see if the problem goes away. Otherwise you may have to RMA it.

  • 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

  • High frequency sound with K8T Neo-FIS2R

    Hello!
    I have the MSI k8t neo-fis2r mainboard with bios v 1.6 and sometimes it makes a horrible high frequency sound and I cant figure out why.
    My system are:
    amd 64 3000 cpu and
    Corsair Value S PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB Unbuffered, Non-parity, 64Megx64, CL2.5
    My other components does not cause the sound (that I have found out by testing).
    I wonder if the ram causes the sound? Can you please help me. The sound is so bad that I cant use my computer. It only appers during heavy system load, and not in windows. It has nothing to do with my video card (because I have tried with several different cards). My bios settings are default values + cool and quit enabled. I have the core center installed so the progam controls the cpu fan.
    I really hope someone can help me.

    The sound does not come from the speaker and I dont think it comes fom the cpu fan either. I think it comes from the motherboard, ram or the cpu. When I dont use my mouse it is quit but when I clik it makes this sound. Can it be that I have to set all values in bios for ram etc. manually instead of automatic?
    When it comes to other electrical sources I have a TV standing 0.5 meter from the computer. Could thins cause the problem? I did not have the problem with my old motherboard which was a MSI K7T Turbo2.
    The sound usually appers when I am benchamarking my system. For example 3dmark 2004. Because of this I thougt there was a problem wiht my vga card but after a changed to a new one...the situation was just the same.

  • [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.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R onboard sound limitation?

    Reading southmikes unofficial guide, it seems you can't use both onboard sound AND a PCI sound card (such as a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz).
    Is this still correct with the 1.6 BIOS?  I want to use the microphone input on the motherboard, but the the TBSC for output.

    It was fixed with BIOS v1.3. I use an SB Live! and the onboard sound card, too.
    It was not driver dependent, the BIOS disabled the sound card that is behind the ISA bridge.
    How can I say that? ISA bridge? There ain't no stinking ISA slot on this mobo!
