Disable sound from BIOS of Acer Laptop (Aspire 3100).

Hi there,
Lots of local places can provide a decent price and even install this for you, however based on the model number provided I was able to find this:

Good luck!

It sounds like you may need to go into the BIOS and change or disable the password. Alternatively, clear the CMOS.

when you start your system , press f1 continously on your keyboard to check ur cmos settings if they are not disable

try the laptop on bios screen if the same then replace the laptoop the screen is gone or can consult the manufracturer for repair.

You haft to go thru BIOS,when puter first comes on hit one of the f1-f12 keys to go into bios then you can see if you can disable it?

Sounds like you have a BIOS problem. You can't update/reload it; for that, you need Windows. Try restoring defaults.

When you start your computer, you can press a key to get into your bios setup. I can't remember what the key is in an Acer, but it may be the del key or perhaps the F2. In any case, it should tell you at the bottom of the screen which key to press.
Once in the bios, you should go to the advanced settings (if that is an option) and disable the onboard sound. If there is no "advanced" setting, then you will need to look around for that option.
You can always disable the sound in Windows by going into the device manager, find the sound card that is installed, and disable it.

Yes you need to download the correct driver and install it to your computer, all the acer drivers are available here

you need to find the model of your laptop, acer aspire 3100? okey pick it from the list and you will get the drivers.

Sounds like the driver is missing. Do you have the driver disc, if you do then reinstall it. Have you also reinstalled the program to run cd/dvd ie Nero. You should have all the drivers on a disc that came with laptop. If not, try going to the following site and see if the missing driver is available.

Failing that, you may get it at one of the driver download sites

If you where the CMOS battery is, there's beside it a jumper inserted in two of the 3 pins(left pin and middle pin). Remove the jumper from its original position and with it short the middle pin and right pin. This resets the CMOS ROM to its default settings minus the password. Return the jumper to its original position as before. Reboot the computer.
