i've never heard of crossfire. how do i know if my mother board supports that? is that a program I install or firmware on the motherboard?

are there any experts out there that can tell me whether there will be port or IRQ conflict problems.

I want both cards just to play all the sounds. both outputting the same sound to more of my speakers.
shouldn't take a lot more resources to just multiply my sound by 2. i know my power supply can support that. I have like 250watts to spare.

I think goodnugs misread your question.
Yes, you CAN set up 2 sound cards, but it's highly unusual and not recommended. There is a high critical failure rate because of resource conflicts and the system getting "confused" on which card to route sound to. You'll especially notice problems in games that generally don't use the Windows sound settings.
