I am installing an audigy 2 soundcard into a system. It has onboard sound already. Do I have to disable the onboard sound or will it be ok. I have a front audio port which I want to use. Will it work if the onboard is disabled?

the answer is maybe a lil late but:

you don't have to disable your onboard sound to use your audigy. If you want to use the front audio ports with the audigy, you will have to connect them to the sound card (if possible) instead of the mainboard itself.

Don't have to, but should. Otherwise there can be conflicting hardware problems, and it might be wasting some processing power (not sure)
