Posted - Nov 11 2009 : 15:18:57 ...I have a backup computer that runs XP. I had some issues with it a few weeks back in that I had to reload XP.
I have it running and it does fine. The only thing is I think my sound card has crapped out as I can't get any sound from it...
So, all I want to do is to turn on the onboard sound in the bios....
The problem is I can't get to the bios. I restart, hit "tab", also tried f4, esc, ctrl/alt/delete, f10, all of them. I also have been able to get to the bios by ctrl/alt/delete while windows is open...but it won't do it.
I am able to get to the navidia strip something or another which is run behind windows..just can't get to the bios setup.
Any suggestions from all you IT wizards?? |

Posted - Nov 12 2009 : 10:46:57 Well, I actually tried hitting DELETE and it booted...go figure..the only problem is it is recognizing the A97 audio and I have set all the settings for that program, pulled up the audio settings and made sure they were maxed and not muted...still no sound. And this is a new board (8Month) My audio card I took out just stopped working. So, now I'm wondering that it might not be the sound card.... |

Posted - Nov 11 2009 : 20:03:28 Have you tried resetting the BIOS? Usually have a jumper that resets it, or you might have to unplug your system and take out the BIOS battery for a few seconds. |

Posted - Nov 11 2009 : 20:01:48 Can you open the case and jumper the reset? That'll usually enable the onboard sounda as default. |

Posted - Nov 11 2009 : 17:57:59 Have you been able to get into the BIOS before?
BIOS (on start up) will tell you what key/s you need to press to get into the BIOS setup screen.
Usually the same screen that shows what CPU/Memory/Hard drives you have. Only flashes for a second so you really have to pay attention.
Key/s are different for each mobo manufacture, which one do you have? |
