I need help installing a Diamond Extremesound 7.1 sound card into my
eMachines T2878 running XP SP1. This is the first sound card--before
now sound was processsed on the motherboard.
I thought that the BIOS had to be changed before installing the card,
but eMachines help said: the sound card should be automatically
detected by Windows once installed in the slot. Verify from the
sound card manufacturer on what is needed to setup in the BIOS.
The sound card's installation instructions say to enter systems BIOS
and disable the previous sound device. Since eMachines help won't help
me, can anyone else tell me how to do this, or tell me where to look
for this information. There wasn't any manual or CD that came with the
PC.
TIA.

Depressing F2 on the boot should get you into the bios. Look "Integrated
Peripherals", use the arrow key to highlight it and hit enter. Then look
for "Onboard Device Configuration", there you should find the audio listed
that can be disabled. Don't know if the bios is the same on yours, I'm
looking at a much newer Emachine bios.
Have to ask why your installing a sound card?
