Disabling Onboard Sound

I just ordered a new sound card to replace my on-board sound, and I've heard that the on-board sound should be disabled.  Do I do this by just going into the device manager and disabling it?  Thanks.

Never the device manager...!!!!! The bios my friend, the bios is where you disable it, should be something like onboard audio enable/disable...

No problem, you would have figured it out though I think

Just about nothing needs a jumper to configure anything now. Its only resetting the CMOS that needs that. Everything is from the BIOS

When you power on your computer hold the Delete key.

Not always. Some makes like Dell use other keys(F-10 or F-12) to enter setup. A quick google will provide a list of setup keys for different manufacturers.

I have one reasonably modern board that has both BIOS and jumper for getting rid of the onboard sound (rev 1.x A7V333/Raid)
