Disabling onboard sound without an option in the BIOS

Okay, I'm wanting to put my new Philips Dynamic Edge 4.1 PCI card in my Hewlett Packard 6350 (board is marked SPAX and everywhere I look it's labeled as an ASUS board), but I ran into a problem. In the PhoenixBIOS there's no option to disable the onboard sound. I've looked in every menu I could find and still nothing remotely close would show. Here's what I'm seeing:

Main: System Time/Date, Language, Legacy Diskette A/B, Primary Master/Slave, Secondary Master/Slave, Installed Memory, Memory Bank 0/1 Core Version, BIOS Revision

Advanced: CPU Type/Speed, Cache RAM, Installed OS (Win98/WinNT5.0 as the default option), Reset Configuration Data, PCI Configuration (gives configuration for the 3 PCI slots on the board for option ROM scan, enable master, and latency timer), PS/2 Mouse, I/O Device Configuration (I would have thought it would have been in here, but it only lists Serial Port A, Parallel port, and Floppy disk controller), Large Disk Access Mode, Local Bus IDE Adapter, and VGA RAM Size

Power: Power Savings, Auto Suspend Timeout, Hard Disk Timeout, Resume On Time, Resume Time

Boot: Boot Order, Hard Drive, Removable Devices, Boot-time Diagnostic Screen, and QuickBoot Mode

Exit: I think this is self explanatory

Am I just screwed on this or should I look for a jumper on the motherboard that might possibly disable the onboard sound considering it's a SS7 mobo with a SIS 5598 chip on it?

If there is no BIOS setting I would suspect that there is a jumper for it. Hunt around for one, it should be labeled "SND" or something similar.

No luck... the only jumpers on there are for the CPU voltage and multiplier, VGA enable/disable, and real time clock.

I know that on some Compaqs, if you insert a video card, then the mobo senses the card and disables the
on board video.
Maybe your mobo works the same way. Have you tried inserting the card ????
Best I can do..Good Luck
