Thanks Karolina, I'd noticed that too, that the kernel (from 2.6.17 til 2.6.23) detected the on-board sound card even when it was set to "disabled" in the BIOS. I double checked the BIOS setting, and it is definitely enabled. Before kernel 2.6.17 I couldn't get the two cards working simultaneously... hmm, I wonder if a "feature" (read bug!) that made my setup work has been fixed! Can the on-board be disabled by the presence of another sound card (over-riding the BIOS setting)?
