| 465024 | 2006-06-21 18:28:00 | I looked in the bios and do not see a setting for disabling the onboard sound. If it's there it certainly doesn't have audio/sound in the title description. Does anyone have this mobo and been able to disable through the bios? Do I need to disable on the board itself? I tried the Asus site but it's so freaking convoluted on getting anything, I said screw it. I'm a little testy atm. I bought a cheap Sound Blaster to replace, because I was getting very bad playback in movies and music after reinstalling windows. Such as chirping, zerps, blips and ever other annoying noise. |

| 465025 | 2006-06-21 20:12:00 | Found the bios option, i swear it wasn't there before ;) But, now I still have a slow down when playing audio, etc. For instance the mouse, if moving, will halt or lag. I never had this issue before that I remember. Could there be a virtual memory thing I need to change? Maybe I did something like that before to fix it. I have 384 ram atm on XP. |

| 465026 | 2006-06-21 20:49:00 | As PC World says, it is recommended to have at least 512MB (GB? Hmmm :D) of RAM under XP. You could try lowering the hardware acceleration (I don't know how to get into it :badpc: ). | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 465027 | 2006-06-21 22:51:00 | My experience of using an el-cheapo sound card versus onboard on an Asus mobo, is that the onboard sounds better. Does away with the possibility of conflicts too. I guess that the issues you're having are some settings rather than the conflict between the two sound hardwares. |

I have 384 ram atm on XP. have you uninstalled the onboard sound drivers?? It may or may not help , but I have encountered problems of that sort with audigy 2's not liking the onboard drivers |
