Hi Esa. PNP OS in the BIOS is best set to NO. It didn't seem to make any 
difference with the Sound Blaster if it was enabled or disabled, in my case. 
I already had the onboard soundcard disabled by jumpers on the mobo, and the 
BIOS options were a bit vague. IIRC it stilled showed the physically disabled 
onboard card as enabled.
