I cannot disable HD Audio controller in bios!

If your not using the onboard audio and your not using speakers, you don't need to disable it, you disable it only if your going to plug in an audio card. As for turning it off in Windows, sounds like your disabling it in Device Manager, and what you see in Device Manager is the NVIDIA HD Audio on the GPU. (see pic)

My onboard audio chip always shows up in Device Manager under Sound, video and game controllers".

Mine does not. I have it disabled in the bios and using my SBZ card: Tho Nvidia shows up, I have that disabled as well in Window's Audio Device Manager along with my LG TV's Speakers as this is what I'm using for my screen.

Thanks for all the suggestions. My main concern is not to disable the HD Audio but to understand why I couldn't do it. Considering what I have read on the MSI forum I can only conclude that it is a bug in the bios. I am happy as long as it is not a physical defect.

You won't know it's a physical defect unless you use the onboard audio

I do use it and it sounds very good

Then there's no physical defect Maybe a bios bug. Hopefully there'll be a new bios that will fix it.
