Again, it depends. If you buy a sound card which uses a kernel driver module different than the one for your HDMI and onboard audio, then yes, you can disable it by blacklisting the driver module currently being used for the HDMI card and buying the soundblaster would likely achieve that since nearly all on-board audio chips are either intel, real-tek, or whatever AMD is using these days. The problem with disabling it is that typically the HDMI sound is driven by the same kernel module that manages your motherboard's on-board sound. Like I said, I have had very mixed results with disabling it using kernel module parameters and disabling the module entirely, while something of a "nuke" approach, is the only truly reliable method I've found for doing so. That is especially true with the Intel driver which is a PITA with this particular issue.
