Your going to need to go into your bios and disable your on-board sound, if you need to know how to do this just ask.

Should be at Via OnChip PCI device(enter) Should see VIA-3058(?#) AC’97 Audio [Auto]-change to Disable.

Also take into consideration that most soundblaster live and audigy cards do not like being in certain PCI slots. Change it to another and all should be fine. Windows does not mind having 2 or more soundboards actively installed, all should be ok as long as you have enough free resources to run the cards. Just make sure your preferred output device is selected in your multimedia properties within control panel.

Put the onboard off and, go to sounds and other stuff with configuration in start. Than set go to advanced and put on the sound system on your kind of boxes.
