Hi.
I'm having a problem with the Asus A7V880 mobo I bought recently. I was
happy to find that it includes an onboard sound card (6-channel SoundMAX
digital audio AC'97 complaint) supporting the connection of audio jacks on
the chassis. However, I also found out that the new mobo no longer has a
game port on the back: it is only available on the board and can be used
only with a special cable that I don't have.
Until now; I have been using a old Creative SoundBlaster PCI 512 for both
4-channel audio and game port; the downside is that it does not support the
connection of chassis audio ports.
Now the question: is it possible to use my PCI audio card AND the onboard
audio at the same time? Of course in Windows I would set the onboard audio
as default hardware to play sounds and use the PCI card only for its game
port.
I have tried, but when my PCI audio card is connected the mobo somehow
recognizes it and the OS does not detect the presence of the onboard audio,
even while it is enabled in the BIOS.
Is there a solution?
Thank you in adavance.
