Urgent- Best way to temporarily disable Audigy 2 and use onboard sound

jdopple · Oct 7, 2005, 03:35 AM

I have an Audigy 2 installed. I need to pull the card for at least a few days, and use the onboard sound.

Is there an easy way to simply disable the A2 driver and reinstall my onboard driver (MSI k8n board)? I know I could uninstall the thing and reinstall when I get the card back, but thought it would be 'cleaner' (no pun) to do it this way if possible.

Can't it be disabled on Device Manager.

uninstall the A 2 driver. If you disabled the onboard in BIOS re-enable it. ONce the driver is unistalled you should be fine

Of course, I know it can be uninstalled/reinstalled.

Can you just disable it instead, or will that create conflicts?

I can just try it, but wanted to see if anyone knew for sure.
