PCI and Onboard sound conflict

kevinb721 · 12-18-2004, 04:41 PM

Hey everyone...I just would like to know if its possible to use a PCI sound card and Onboard sound simultaniously because i use dj programs that require me to cue up songs in my headphones before i mix them up on my stereo system, but when i plug in my headphones to the PCI sound card and my stereo system to the onboard sound (or vice versa), the sound completely stops and all i hear is some scratchy noises, but no sound. My board is a MSI KT-6 Delta with AC'97 onboard sound (C-Media) and i have a generic PCI sound card. thanks.

yeah no free help?! they are so useless

usually it's ok to have 2 sound cards, but I don't know how to fix your problem, try reading the manual to see if there is anything about running 2 soundcards

Defenitely there is a conflict bet. your onboard SC and your PCI SC, why not disable your onboard and see what happens. And as PREATOR always say " we dont live hear"
