Ben,

Normally there's a jumper on the motherboard, have a quick look in the manual.

my sony book tells me nothing and the sound card tells me that i have to disable the onboard sound and tells me that i should consult my computers documentation which says nothing about disableing the sound

i can disable the sound via my bios but would that disable the new sound card i wan to install???????

regards ben

No, disabling the sound on the BIOS will only disable the on-board chip.
