question about Compaq 7360

Only in Device manager in Windows. Nowhere else.

Hey all,

I recently bought a better sound card than the integrated one in my
Compaq 7360. I have installed the new card (soundblaster live) and it
works great, however I want to deactivate the integrated audio
completely. The reason for this is that I use screen access software
with a software speech engine and having both cards active seems to be
bogging the machine down. On most systems I am familiar with there is
either a choice in the bios to disable the onboard audio or there is a
jumper on the motherboard. I have emailed the folks at Compaq and I
actually got a response from them, however it was limited to disabling
the card within windows which does not do squat. So, if anyone has
any idea how to do this I would very much appreciate knowing. As I
cannot read the screen I tried having someone go through the bios
screens with me yesterday however we could not find anything but it is
entirely possible we missed it.

In any case, any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

best regards,

Actually, it's the norm for many mass-produced PC's, i.e. Compaq, HP,
Gateway, Dell, etc., with reduced-option BIOSes.
