Two sound cards at once????

[chrisdude911]

Hey guys,
I have just installed an EMU 0404 into my pc for recording.
And i still wanted to used the Realtec AC97 that was already on my pc
for a sound output.
But the AC97 has dissappeared off of the soundcard list in "Sounds and
Audio Devices."
How do i get it back?
Thanks
Chris

If, in the properties of one you can change its irq, that might let the
other one be seen. Ask in a hardware group for a better chance of a
solution.

EMU 0404 is usually, if not always a sound blaster (creative sound card).
AC97 usually denotes an onboard sound device. In the BIOS it usually
has 2 settings auto and disable. AUTO will recognize the SB and disable.
I do emphasize _usually_.
