ok I just put together my computer and here are the specs:
ECS K7S5A mobo
256 DDR ram
XP 1600+
WD 60.0 gb 7200rpm
Hercules MUSE XL sound
Geforce 2 64mb
and the problem is when i tried to use the onboard sound the volume was very low to an extent where u can barely hear it and a slight distortion here and tehre, so i thought i could solve it by buying a new sound card and disabling the onboard sound. so i bought a new sound card and installed it although it did resolve the volume issue, occasionally there is a distortion when too much sounds come in. is there any way to totally turn off the sound? i turned it off in the setup/bios but it does not seem to help. it seems to be conflicting with the onboard sound and it does not even make sense to me. i am not too much of a computer expert so any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks guys!
