Glad to help in any way.
I will check all the BIOS screens again, but the only setting I am aware
of right now to disable anything on-board, is for the network (which was
10/100), replaced with a gigabit network card.
The specs for that desktop shows (under Sound/Audio):
*Integrated audio is not available if a sound card is installed.
So, adding a sound card, could very well disable the on-board audio
automatically. Whether this would resolve the current issue with the
TDE/KDE startup sound not playing at startup, don't know.

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
Kate 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
Kate

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. ____________________________________________________
