You have just installed a good-known sound card on your computer. However, you are not available to hear any sound, even though all the volume controls are at maximum. How do you fix this?
  1. Reinstall the operating system.
  2. Disable onboard audio in the CMOS setup.
  3. Reinstall the Sound Card.
  4. Install another Sound Card.
Explanation
Answer - B - You should disable the onboard audio in the CMOS setup.

Key Takeaway: Motherboards usually come with onboard audio. This onboard audio controller can be toggled between ON and OFF. If you are using a sound card, the sound card audio will not be functional until the onboard audio controller is disabled. So you need to enter the CMOS setup to disable this and then restart the computer.
