[kj] Play dead

[Brendan Quinn]

Actually you're right, but a) I'm 9/10 cut and b) I've never seen a sound
card that wouldn't play ball when disabled in the BIOS.? My advice was a bit
scrambled on second thought, what I should have said was.disable the onboard
card in the bios (as Darren said, also check that it's not being auto
configured via Plug & Play), go into Device Manager, & if it's still there,
disable it. Then go into control panel and make sure the add-on card is the
default sound device for everything and the other one doesn't show up at
all. At this stage if nothing works, check Google and email the
manufacturer. If all else fails upgrade the mobo & soundcard firmware (cos
it sounds like a BIOS fault if it's not obeying CMOS Setup config) and take
it from there.but check with the mobo manuf first to see if it's a known
fault.

 

Luckily updating BIOS firmware these days is a lot less painful and risky
than it was in the past.but still, if no probs with it then leave it alone
is a good rule of thumb, good call.

BQ, I'd leave the BIOS update as a very last resort. :)

Reinstalling windows is totally wac for an issue like this (!)
Google the issue you have including the sound-card and motherboard model
numbers, see if anyone else has that issue with that hardware.

Cheers, but yes we went through that. It still insists on 'reverting' after
every shutdown.

Apologies if you're past this, but : is the original soundcard integrated
into the motherboard? Even if not, I'd take a look at the BIOS options and
see if you can physically select the PCI slot with the new soundcard.

iTunes...a totally invasive piece of annoyance! That little ficker tried
taking over every sound device on my pc. It is now gone!
Windows, still insists on using its own primary s/c after installing the
delta 1010, with the original s/c no longer on the drive. Reformatted and
all :[
Bloody annoying at the beginning of each recording session.
