I have a Compaq Deskpro EP-300 that is giving me grey hairs,It has the es 1869 chip onboard and the drivers for that are junk..Tried several different ones including what compaq has and all they do is cause problems with video and other things..So...I decided to stick in a soundblaster but my question is,Is How can I disable the onboard sound? I did it in bios and it still shows up in device manager..Does that cause a conflict even though I have everything diabled? The Soundblaster installs but no sound from that...Help! I am too young for grey hair!..
