Wow Larry, adding a card would void warranty is rather stringent. How did you disable the sound chip, did you do it in bios?

If anyone has a work around that, I'd be interested in hearing about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Naessens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
