I have tried changing the sound card to another pci slot but it still won't work. My computer also has onboard sound ports. When my agp video card was in there I could use my Soundblaster card. Now that I replaced my blown out agp card with a pci video card my sound card won't work. I am stuck using my inferior onboard sound driver at the moment. Is there a way to get both the pci video and sound cards working together and disable the onboard sound?

yes disable the onboard sound card on your bios, and reinstall your sounblaster sound card drivers

maybe your sound card died. they dont last extremely long. make sure you uninstall all drivers from your onboard sound card and then completely uninstall your pci sound card and then try a new slot and then reinstall. if that doesnt work then its just a weird motherboard problem id guess. you shouldnt be using a pci vid card... their really out-dated. get another agp vid card. their still very capable of good gaming. one last thing, try getting the latest drivers for the sound card from the manufacturers website. good luck, dont give up... the best way to get through computer problems is trial and error and perserverance.
