PMR12 · 11-04-2007, 05:56 PM

Hi there,
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P desktop PC which has an Asus P5GD1 - FM/S motherboard. The on-board soundcard has malfunctioned and I was thinking of replacing it with a Creative SB Audigy SE PCI soundcard.
I have downloaded the motherboard manual off the internet and it does not seem to mention anything about disabling the onboard sound.

Would it just be a case of me fitting the sound card in the PCI slot and then installing the drivers and nothing much else?
Am I likely to have to make complicated changes to the BIOS?

Sorry it it seems a dumb question.

Thanks for any advice
Paul
