That might not be the correct setting for the on-board sound. I have that setting in my BIOS too, but it refers to one of the 2 AC97 slots on my mother board. One is an AC97 audio slot, and the other is an AC97 modem slot. I use neither of the slots. But I do have on-board audio, an integrated SB live chip. But I have not seen a setting to turn this off in the BIOS. On that system, I use windows, and I turn off the audio in windows device manager, under PCI audio device. I would think that you would disable the audio chip in Linux, rather than in the BIOS.
