[NTLUG:Discuss] Disabling onboard sound.

[Bryan Parker]

I've got on board sound - and a SB MP3 Live! card.  When I installed the SB
card, I didn't have to disable the on board sound.  As a matter of fact, both
of them are working.  I can switch between the two, or use both simultaneously.
I thinks the trick is to make sure you are loading the correct sound driver for
your card.  Maybe it's just that my card is different.

Check the HOWTO's and load an appropriate driver (if there is one) before you
give up.
