Try "Setup", if you have it, at boot time. Most times, to get to Setup
requires depressing and holding the Delete, Escape or some other key.
Which one varies among manufacturers. It usually says during or just
after POST.

I can get into the BIOS by pressing F2, but audio doesn't seem to be listed.
On my main PC (a desktop), it can be found under Onboard Devices > AC97, but
there is no equivalent here.

I'm in the dark here since I have no idea of the make or model of your
motherboard, but I've never come across a board with "built-in whatever,"
where "whatever" couldn't be disabled or turned off.

Check the user manual for your board. Maybe, the audio is turned off by
a jumper.
