by the way were can i find a tutorial to disable my onboard sound in bios ? because i don't find the correct tab , and i dont want to disable something is not correct . thanks.

Toti .

Go back to the Asus site and download the Manual, it's all in there, I find it easier to work backwards from the AC'97 audio. They are usually on the Advanced tab under Integrated Peripherals. One point there is usally an F key it's F5 in most cases to reset System defaults in case of problem just read carefully

Hope this helps

HI Barbara , well i read all the PDF document carefully but I didnt find a instruction to disable my "onboard sound " and its getting pretty bad now , now every time I open a folder the sound sound like a "Ptrrrrrrrrr" noise and my computer start lagging , slow down , my music sounds like slow motion , so I need to restart my computer again , so it get for a little while ok , but it came back as soon I open a page or a folder etc. its getting really anoying to restart my computer everytime this happen , I uninstall the Sound MAx onboard sound , from Device manager but stil I have this situation , Im geting this message too everytime i reboot something like " The application couldnt close because a DLL something ", I cant read it , becasue it appears not even for a couple of seconds Grrrrrr
I reinstall my Drivers of the sound card , even I update those , ULI is updated too all is up to date , so what is wrong here?
Thanks Barbara pls. forgive my ignorance but Im getting really frustrated .

Iv'e also had a look and as you say, nothing to link to onboard sound, I'm off to the Asus forum to see what they know. Iv'e an idea but need to check

This is not an answer, but it appears to be a problem with the motherboard, have a look at this on the Asus Forum

It seems it's a memory problem, I see you have 2GB of memory, this is probulary 2 sticks of 1GB, the solution that the guys have found is to run with only 1 stick of memory in the comp. perhaps removing one of the memory sticks could solve the problem in the short term.If your comp is a commercial built by one of the PC Companies an email pointing out that there is a defect with this motherboard could be an option.


Hope this helps

Barbara,

First of all thanks for the effort you put in helping me.

I downloaded the driver you gave me a link to, but in order to install this driver, I first have to install microsoft service pack 2. Normally this shouldn't give any problems, however the windows xp I installed was an illegal copy (I'm a gangster I know ) so service pack 2 won't install. Anyone knows how to solve this?

Thanks

[ipswichross]
