I would be more surprised to learn that on board, or dedicated board, audio hardware isn't working. I also don't know if an external audio device exists that doesn't use its own drivers. I have had positive experience with the Realtek HD Audio and Creative Live/Audigy. Perhaps others can comment on what has and hasn't worked for them, and perhaps a KB article could be written containing all the models and their safe mode success. If someone wants to compile such a list, and write up an article, we'd be happy to post it to our knowledgebase.

So, if I get you right Aaron, those who have trouble with their onboard sound card, might even be well off in buying a USB sound card with generic support?

    That's a fair point, Curtis. And it seems as though basic/generic
    USB support is enabled (even USB keyboards allow access to the
    system bios). It's those devices that require additional USB
    drivers that are typically not loaded in safe mode.

    It's important to note that some audio devices simply don't
    support safe mode. Not only to the USB audio devices need the
    audio drivers loaded, but they also need USB drivers loaded, and
    that typically doesn't happen (hence the whole point of "safe"
    mode). Built-in audio devices, and dedicated internal audio
    devices attached directly to the system bus typically work fine.

    I have a question for gwmicro, and those of you who have tried
    the safe mode
    ....
    I have a soundblaster x-fi extream audio sound card.
    I just tried safe mode with window eyes, no go with it, I have
    the audio in
    safe mode checked in window eyes.
    When i try and bring window eyes up; it will stay up but no
    sound will issue
    from my speakers.
    then window eyes will go away, also the control back slash does
    not work.
    Do i need to use a usb sound card? or will the internal
    soundblaster i have
    work?
    am not using usb speakers.if this combo does not work can
    anyone recomand
    any usb sound cards that does work with window eyes in safe
    mode?thanks.
