question about Compaq 7360
Only in Device manager in Windows. Nowhere else.
HH "The Audioman" wrote in message ... Hey all, I recently bought a better sound card than the integrated one in my Compaq 7360. I have installed the new card (soundblaster live) and it works great, however I want to deactivate the integrated audio completely. The reason for this is that I use screen access software with a software speech engine and having both cards active seems to be bogging the machine down. On most systems I am familiar with there is either a choice in the bios to disable the onboard audio or there is a jumper on the motherboard. I have emailed the folks at Compaq and I actually got a response from them, however it was limited to disabling the card within windows which does not do squat. So, if anyone has any idea how to do this I would very much appreciate knowing. As I cannot read the screen I tried having someone go through the bios screens with me yesterday however we could not find anything but it is entirely possible we missed it. In any case, any help with this would be greatly appreciated! best regards, The Audioman |

Actually, it's the norm for many mass-produced PC's, i.e. Compaq, HP,
Gateway, Dell, etc., with reduced-option BIOSes. HH |
