I just bought a Dell desktop and since I wasn't impressed with the sound card options that were offered, I selected the default on-board sound component with the intention of installing a better sound card in a PCI slot at a future date.
Does anyone know if the on-board sound processor and the sound card will conflict? With both installed, how do I ensure that the PC will use the PCI sound card for audio and not the on-board one? Do I have to disable the on-board one somehow (maybe in BIOS)?
This same question applies to on-board graphic processors and PCI/AGP/PCI-X graphics cards. Does the PC just know to use the card and ignore the on-board component?
Thanks!
