I will check all the BIOS screens again, but the only setting I am aware of right now to disable anything on-board, is for the network (which was 10/100), replaced with a gigabit network card. The specs for that desktop shows (under Sound/Audio): *Integrated audio is not available if a sound card is installed. So, adding a sound card, could very well disable the on-board audio automatically. Whether this would resolve the current issue with the TDE/KDE startup sound not playing at startup, don't know. ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
