Yes, I read the same article.
As for your question. No, installing a second audio card does not disable the
onboard audio. You'd need to disable it in the bios. I do, but it's not
needed as it doesn't interfer with the default card functions.
Thanks for your input, it's greatly appreciated.
I'm going to read your other email and reply if I can.
Thank you

Another card I'm looking at is the Creative
Labs Sound Blaster AE-9
PCIe

-9-pcie-sound-card Although, as far as I can tell, has no linux support
but I could be wrong.
Thanks again

According to this article, the AE-9 doesn't have Linux support. The
AE-7 will have Linux support with the 5.10 kernel.
I would hope the older Creative cards have some Linux support. My older
desktop actually has a legacy PCI slot (in addition to PCI-E x1 and x16
slots), but I don't know if plugging in a sound card will automatically
disable its on-board equivalent, as it does with a video card.
