Yes, I have tried disabling the onboard speakers for the laptops but all that does is when the user logs on, no sound device is connected. Even though the Promethean USB sound is set as the defualt.
You still need to re-plug the USB connection before the USB sound kicks in. As for disabling onbord sound in BIOS, not an obtion since staff members might want to use laptop with out the boards.
We currently have over 100 of these boards spread over three different sites and since all of them are pretty new, I do not think its to do with the boards. I was thinking it might be a problem with
USN audio drivers.
Thanks for your response. Nice to now I am not alone.
