Uninstalling Onboard sound for Dedicated sound card.

[yogi]

I have the ABIT FP-in9 SLI motherboard and at the moment it is using
the onboard sound.
I am wanting to fit a dedicated sound card but I am trying to
establish the correct way to do so.

In the Control Panel under Device Manager I see the section Sound,
video and game controllers. In there are:
-Audio Codecs
-Legacy Audio Drivers
-Legacy Video Capture Devices
-Media Control Devices
-Realtek High Definition Audio
-Video Codecs

I am thinking that I will need to uninstall or remove each of those
sections, reboot into the bios and then disable the onboard sound,
shutdown and install the new audio card.

IF I am correct so far, the next part is still under a cloud.

When windows loads it will find the new hardware and want to install
the drivers, do I say (YES) and put the driver disk in the drive or
say (NO) and run the setup program from the driver disk and let it
install the drivers and associated software programs that come with
the card.

The DVD Burner I have installed has no audio output connectors built
in so the audio must be vire the SATA cable to the motherboard, so I
hope if I fit a dedicated audio card, it will also get the audio from
the motherboard the same as the onboard audio did.

My options are to use the (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS) in the backup
computer or purchasing a new (PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio) and
install it.

If you want to disable the on-board sound you will *probably* find the
option to do so is in the BIOS.

Turn off the on-board sound in the BIOS
Power off
Install new card
Boot up
Install drivers

Install new card
Boot up
Install drivers

Ditto, but uninstall the drivers for the old sound too.

My habit is to say no to the windows auto-install. After you are
finished booting use the manufacturer's disk (IMHO).

Neither. Always trash the driver disk that comes with hardware, unless
there is some other software (not drivers) on it that you want to use. The
reason is, by the time you buy that factory pressed driver disk, the drivers
on it are likely (very likely) several -major- revisions removed from the
latest drivers available for your hardware. You should always check the web
site of the manufacturer of (whatever hardware you think you want to buy) to
find the latest drivers BEFORE you purchase your hardware. If you can't
easily find recent drivers online from the manufacturer, don't buy that
specific piece of hardware.

The DVD Burner I have installed has no audio output connectors built

OK, that doesn't read right, but if I assume I know what you meant to say,
this should not be a problem, as long as you install all the drivers
correctly.

Yeah, use the older card if it is PCI (and not PCI-Express). From what I
can tell, your motherboard seems to have a mix of older and newer expansion
slots. Save one of the newer expansion slots, you might want to use it
later. A new PCI-Express format sound card won't offer better sound quality
or better performance, so save your money. -Dave

I would just turn off the onboard video in the BIOS, turn off the
computer, and install the new sound card. I wouldn't try to
uninstall anything first. The version of Windows makes a lot of
difference. I'm using Windows XP. But I would also probably make a
backup copy of the operating system partition first. Installing

Good luck.

7/25/2007 Dossier


REQUEST OF CLIENT

On July 24, 2007, Martin Markoe with eMicrophones, Inc. contacted XXXX
& Associates, with the request for a full background/dossier on Mr.
Mark O. Bender.

SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION

Our office found Mr. Mark Bender's current address is 509 Frost, SATX
78201, to be owned by Ms. Gloria Trevino. There are many rental homes
in this area. Mr. Bender has never owned property. He does not own a
vehicle. He doesn't have a TX Driver's license. He does have a TX
State ID. He has been arrested twice for Assault/Family/Domestic

be the same Mark Orrin Bender with in this report. The court documents
would to be ordered at any additional cost to the client.

Hello Laura

I do install the drivers from the disk most times, Windows often
couldn't find a driver if it jumped up and bit it.

Only one of the sound options has a uninstall option and the rest has
a remove option in there properties. I have done a complete back up
of C:\partition, hopefully I will not need it.

reason is, by the time you buy that factory pressed driver disk, the drivers

site of the manufacturer of (whatever hardware you think you want to buy) to
find the latest drivers BEFORE you purchase your hardware. If you can't
easily find recent drivers online from the manufacturer, don't buy that
specific piece of hardware.

So far I couldn't be happier with my re-build even with the factory
drivers, it is easily the best computer I have built to date, It is
very fast, stable and can handle anything Doom 3 can disk up unlike my
old Pentium 4 3gh setup that used to die if 2 of more zombies attacked
at once.
And unlike the old Pentium 4 which took all night to convert an AVI
into DVD format, my new 3gh Core 2 Duo can convert a 654mb AVI into a
1.3gb DVD format in 25min. And my system is stock, I don't overclock.

OK, that doesn't read right, but if I assume I know what you meant to say,
this should not be a problem, as long as you install all the drivers
correctly.

I thought it strange when I took the DVD Burner out of the box, when I
looked at the back, the only connectors were for the power leed and
the SATA leed, no others, not even jumpers, but as I just said, it is
a SATA burner so there is no need for jumpers. That is why I never
installed the sound card when I first built the system.

Yeah, use the older card if it is PCI (and not PCI-Express). From what I
can tell, your motherboard seems to have a mix of older and newer expansion
slots. Save one of the newer expansion slots, you might want to use it
later. A new PCI-Express format sound card won't offer better sound quality
or better performance, so save your money. -Dave

My board has 2xPCI and 2xPCI Express slots, I have used one of the PCI
slots for a 5 Port HighSpeed USB card, that is why I thought about
getting the new PCI Express sound card so that I would still have
1xPCI and 1xPCI Express for later add-ons.

The old Sound Blaster Audigy is PCI, I don't know of any other add-ons
cards I would want at this time, but incase at a later date I did want
a card and it was only available in PCI I thought I would leave one
free, anyway I don't have do decide straight away but I do want to
make sure that I don't have any con flicks with the onboard sound
drivers and any new sound drivers.

I will have a look at the Creative site for a newer set of drivers for
both of the cards, it is always handy to have them on hand.

Thanks Dave

I would just turn off the onboard video in the BIOS, turn off the
computer, and install the new sound card. I wouldn't try to
uninstall anything first. The version of Windows makes a lot of
difference. I'm using Windows XP. But I would also probably make a
backup copy of the operating system partition first. Installing
stuff is one of the best uses for a backup copy of the operating
system partition. Oh what a relief it is.

Good luck.

Hello John Doe
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2, and I did do a complete backup of
drive C:\ Partition 2 days ago, nothing of any importance has changed
since then.
If I had used my head when I built this computer, I should have put
the sound card in and loaded the drivers and seen if the DVD player
found the sound card, but as the new Drive did not have any sound
output terminals on the back I thought that I would install the
onboard sound to find out if there was any sound from the DVD, but as
I said, I could have done the same thing using the dedicated sound
card and I would not be wondering how to change them over now.

I afraid I am getting old, while my brain it trying to work out what
to do next, my hands have already done it.
I didn't do that....Did I?

Cheers
Keith
