Hi,
First, do you see it listed in Device Manager? If so, there is no need to
access the BIOS. The BIOS is accessed when the system is first powered on
using a key or key combination as indicated on the screen by the line:
"Press <key> to enter setup". Once in this area, you would check the
peripherals to make sure that the line for the sound card/audio device is
set to <enabled>, then exit saving changes (usually by hitting F10).
