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

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.

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

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.

Safe design boards will auto
disable simple stuff like video when an addon
card is in place. It would make sense that your board would also disable the
audio. If you don't see it in kmix, it's been disabled.
Make sure you have set the default audio card. I use "Default Sound Card"
(asoundconf-gtk), try that if it's available to you.
