Disabling onboard sound and AC97

[deucefx]

For AC97 do I just go to Add/Remove Programs and remove it?

And for disabling onboard sound do I just go to each driver and disable them in device manager? Or should I hunt down each driver and delete it as well? And how would I even find them all?

 

[deucefx]

Should I disable or just remove the drivers in device manager?

To disable onboard sound you should do so in the BIOS.

If you want to remove the respective software, you can do so thru ADD/Remove Programs.

try disabling in the BIOS. upon boot remove from device manager so you can install your sound card.
