    Bios settings for add in cards

    I just had and interesting turn of events with my Junk Dell P4. The output sound jack on the rear of the mobo is bad so I added a Sound Blaster Live card to get around this problem. I tried to burn a few movies the day before yesterday but I kept getting error code = 122 during the burn using DVDFab5 and 6. I uninstalled and reinstalled all my burning progies but I still kept getting that error. So I called my brother to see if he could solve my problem, and he did. The first thing he said was did you turn off your onboard sound chip in your BIOS? I'm like no I didn't. I thought it was a smart bios that would see that there was and installed sound card, and use it by default. Well I went into the bios and turned off the onboard sound chip, and the error =122 went away. Life is good! At least I now know what error =122 means! Errow =122 means "Junk Parts Screwed Up Again!"...LOL

    There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

      Makes logical sense.
      Whenever I setup a system I always go through the BIOS and switch stuff off that I don't need (like the onboard sound as I have an Audigy card installed). I find that it frees up any I/O that the system might use for other stuff as well as helps take care of headaches when troubleshooting and in one case, overclocking.

          I've run 2 sound cards for recording before. Onboard was on too.

              some boards don't like that due to irqs. check irq settings in bios. check for a disable jumper on the board.

              edit: also remove the onboard driver- that will f*** things up in windows sometimes. at the very least, it removes some bloat from the machine

              just for our info, what audio chip is on the board (not sb live) that way we know what chip to be careful of

                  Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                  by AquaMan Ua
                  Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                  Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo

                  ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
                  Model No: RC72LA
                  Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

                  Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

                  I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

                  [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
                  by cr4zychriss
                  Hello everyone,
                  I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
                  I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details

                  Asus BIOS How To Reset To Default Settings?
                  by YG007
                  Hello... Where do I start. I have 2 questions/scenarios that might bring this laptop back to life, so here it goes!

                  I have this laptop (Asus UX52VS) where I was flashing the BIOS to it and it froze during the process. I didn't have a reliable BIOS chip programmer at the time (It was a CH341A USB Programmer from Amazon where it took hours just to get the clamp on the chip and then every time I read, it gave me different results/corruption, and never would pass the verify test as no 2 reads were the same data), so I brought it to a shop. They had it for almost 2 months, but during...

                  ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
                  by pirati
                  Hello everyone,

                  I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

                  When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

                  I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
