Hi Chris, I can get into the BIOS. Simply by hitting the DEL key as the system is booting up. I went through every station (if you want to call it that), each BIOS heading line and opened up what`s in there. I don`t see anything that relates to Audio or onboard audio. Question: If I take out the CT 4830 sound card, should I not be able to hear sound from the Onboard audio via some plugged in speakers ? ( Also, I had to hit the shift key and the no 6 key to get the question mark.... Is that going to be the norm within Ubuntu?)
Anyway, back to the sound issue. I`ll also go into google and bring up the motherboard or AMD Athalon process xp2400, to see if I can determine where or how to get at the onboard sound on /off switch. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. By the way, where are you located? Thanks again, Al ________________________________ From: Chris Crisafulli <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 4:14:53 AM Subject: [Bug 316244] Re: Unable to hear any sound from Sound Blaster Live CT4830 Sound Card- I have NO sound on this system at present. Al, It is kind of easy as long as you can get into your BIOS. Depending on what kind of machine you can usually get into the bios by hitting whatever key prompts you to enter setup, I think in most cases it's a function key f1 or f2, in some cases I've seen it be an ESC key or the delete as well. Usually you hit this as the computer is posting (checking memory and diagnostic tests). A quick google search can probably help narrow down how you would get into yours if none of the keys I mentioned here work for you. Once you're in then you can look for a category that describes hardware (config on some machines). Go into there and find where it says something like onboard audio. Please let me know if this helps.
