How do I disable the onboard Sound card in BIOS on the Equium A200

I am using a Creative Sound Blaster external soundcard but the recording level is very low and have been advised by Creative to disable the onboard sound card in BIOS but there is no option to do this. Can anyone help ?

Hi
You cannot disable it in the BIOS.
If you want to disable the sound card you can do this in the device manager!
cheers

Can't find the original sound card

I have an HP Media Center m7334n desktop pc with xp multimedia. It came with a Realtec sound card, and I installed a second C Media sound card to use with an external interface. It was set up so that the Realtec handled all sounds for the pc such as watching video or listening to audio, and the second sound card worked only with the selected external device.
For some reason, I no longer have sound for audio or video through the Realtec. The C Media card still works fine with th external device, but I get no audio through the PC speakers. I have tried plugging the PC speakers into a different PC and they work fine. I have also tried plugging different speakers into the HP pc, but still have no audio. Also, I can't 'see' the Realtec card when I go to Device Manager. I have tried resetting On-board Audio to Automatic in BIOS, but that did not help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

I suggest reinstalling the Realtek driver. Also, check to assure that all boxes are checked correctly in the Control Panel.

KT3-Ultra Onboard Sound Card

Does the KT3-ultra's onboard sound card support eax
or dolby surround? Cos I can't seem to get any games
to use the left/right rear speakers at all.
Such games include warcraft 3 and counterstrike.
Running the latest drivers from avance, and using
windows 2000 Professional.

Thanks for the speedy reply guys.
What the question initially intended to ask was if
the onboard sound card allowed me to play games
with full surround sound support using eax/dolby.
I assume the answer to this question is no.
With regards to playing DVDs, yes I can get the 6
channel sound, and the speaker test in the tray
confirms this.
But as I don't really watch DVDs on my computer,
and use it more for games and work, I assume I
have to get a SB Live or some sort to actually get
eax/dolby support within games. Is this correct?
Thanks again.

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.

The device manager in control panel, which is under 'system' and then 'hardware'.
Thank you for your post. It seems to be the only one solution to this issue.
I was told (OEM support) that the bios is a generic one (reason why the AC97 line appear) but for this kind of mother board, it cannot be accessed.
Your solution works and I think it's enought.

KT4 Ultra Disable the Onboard Sound?

Hello I just purchased a KT4 Ultra board and need to disable the onboard sound so I can install my Audigy Platnium sound card. I do not see any documented jumpers or provisions in the bios. Could someone explain how to do this, and if your saying it exist in the bios please include the bios header it is under. Thankyou.

JoJoMoJo,
I since you have a KT4 and you posted in the nVidia/AMD/SiS Motherboard Forum, I moved the thread to Via forum for you.
Take Care,

HOW TO GO ABOUT DISCONECTING OLD SOUND CARD ,SO THE NEW BLAALASTER CAN LO

i HAVE A SONY VAIO AND I DO NOT SEE A CHIPBOARD FOR THE OLD SOUND CARD? HOE TO LOCATE THIS,WOULD STOP THIS INSSANNITY........PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD DOE A FELLA GOOD? IS THERE A SET PIN JUMPER SOMEWHERE?

Whoah whoah fist of all cool down man, there's nothing to get so nervous about. And don't try prying the poor VAIO open and locating any soundboards, unless you usually go around desoldering stuff...the soundboard is just a chip, leave it alone. To disable it, all you need to do is turn off an option in the BIOS, no knifes, screwdrivers or solderers needed.
Oh and uninstalling the windows drivers for the onboard sound would help, too.

How do you set a usb sound card as the default sound device for all programs?

I'm running cmus for a music player and it works fine with the internal speakers on my macbook pro. I'm using a usb sound card for a set of 5.1 surround speakers and cmus won't send it's audio to the usb sound card. I've also tried several other programs for audio and it seems to be hit or miss with being able to use the usb sound card. I'm not sure if I'm overlooking the a setting or if there is a different audio output plugin for cmus that has the functionality I need. Cmus also won't play over any bluetooth audio device while some other sounds will.

Yes I did and it does not appear there. Only the ringtones I have created myself and the default ones appear in the list.

I'm at a loss with the onboard sound

I can't get my 6 5.1 speakers to work on mt KT4 Ultra board, so I'm considering putting my Sound Blaster back in and disabling the onboard sound. What kind of a performance hit will I take?
I can get the fronts to work, or the rears to work but not all six. I have tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,

Hi,
Have you set up the C-Media drivers for 5.1/6.1 sound? The settings for each speaker configuration can be found if you double-click the c-media icon next to the clock and select the settings button. Note how the plug configuration changes if you change the type of speakers.
I found that the 6.1 configuration with the headphone(?) option ticked makes all my 5.1 speakers work ok. I'm not saying I haven't got any sound problems but at least they all work.
I've also found that individual apps also need to be setup for the better speakers as well. PowerDVD needs to have the setting specifically set or the sounds all over the place.
Hope this helps

Pblm with onboard sound card

I have a KT4 Ultra, with ddr 1go, a 450W power for about 6 hard disks on ide 1, 2 and a pci card, and I'm alwaus using the onboard soundchip c-media 3728. I dunno why, but since a few weeks, while no change has been made to my pc hardware, I began to have this annoying pblm: when I'm doing heavy reading/writing tasks on my hard disks on the pci card, while playing mp3 or divx on my ide1 hdd with any software player, then the sound is continuously very jerky. I have win xp pro sp1+rollup, the latest via4in1 driver for my motherboard, and the latest one for the integrated sound card.
Anybody knows how to solve it?

Well yes my ide1 and 2 are in UDMA mode.

Hp pavillion dv9000 onboard sound card/speakers not recognized

I have an old HP Pavillion dv9000, it has been with me for a while. I took it with me to Iraq back in 2007-2008 and it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I don't currently have the funds to replace it, and it still works quite well for my needs as a full-time student; however, last week I moved into a new apartment and discovered that for whatever reason it no longer recognizes its onboard sound card or speakers. Additionally, sound no longer works through the headphones, and I've also attempted to update drivers but it made no difference. There is a red circle x over the speaker icon in the tray and I recieve a "No Audio Output Device is installed" message when I scroll over it. I'm running on Windows Vista and the speakers worked fine just last week. Lastly, I attempted to find the sound card myself to see if perhaps it needed reseating, but I had no idea where to look. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello fredo5,
Please take a look at the troubleshooting steps in this document, and let me know if it helps resolve your sound issues.
Good luck!

Unable to make microphone to work on NVIDIA MCP55 onboard sound card

Hello.
Some time ago, I bought a nice HP xw9400 Workstation (with Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216) from Germany. Despite it's starting to become old by today's standards for some stuff like gaming, it's still quite okay to use and the SAS HDD makes it boot fastly. And it has one of the best cases, you can plug PCI/PCIe/PCI-X cards very easily and it's very nice to change or add HDDs. Maybe I'll upgrade the CPUs (I can upgrade the bios and it seems it can support better CPUs) if I find them on eBay or other place.
I have less problems with Arch than the rest of distributions, but I still have weird issues. Despite my computer hardware is somewhat old, I still experience weird problems everywhere (it seems I have some kind of weird "luck").
I have problems using my microphone under Arch with "NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" onboard sound card , here is the relevant info.

Sorry, that was wrong, I meant
arecord -l
Have you tried making a virtual loopback device like above and using
arecord -vv -fdat out.wav
You should see the #### fluctuate as you speak into the mic. If not, then unmute and turn up your mic in alsamixer. That loopback device will allow you to capture your sound card and hear it at the same time. Another way to do it is to use a jumper from line out to line in on your sound device. You won't be able to hear it while you record though.
If your sound device works, then you can capture what's going through it. You'll need to determine which vitual device your mic is.
Example
arecord -l

Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

I need serious help with this one.
It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
Windows 7 x64
Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.
