in the bios there may be a way to turn it off, tho it may not look like it, when i tried to turn on board audio off on my board there was no "on board Audio" "off/on"

it was given a more discrete name of audio controller

maybes u have something similar?

how about a bios update?


updated bios already. called up tech support and they said when an agp card is placed in, onboard gets disabled automatically. they can't fix my problem :\

When I worked tech support for a video card company, when customers had this problem I'd have them remove the card, boot up with and install the onboard video, and then Disable it in Device Manager. Then I'd have them go into BIOS if needed and change whatever was needed for card use. Then boot from the card and that'd fix it. Sounds like a fix for a PCI card, right? Yes, an AGP card inserted should be enough for the onboard to disable, but nothing's perfect. This is what worked for me.
