Hi,
that's hard to believe. What do you mean by "left it active"? Could
you please give a few examples? What happens?
Disabling the onboard audio device by the BIOS settings is a good
idea, if it's anyway unneeded, but this shouldn't necessarily be
required, to improve something, let alone that removing the module
shouldn't make a difference.
Don't know about the original poster's situation, but disabling the
onboard audio on my laptop via BIOS meant that Debian came up with no
audio at all. Blacklisting the module worked better.
As far as by "leaving it active", perhaps he means his system
adamantly insists on making the on-board audio the default audio
device for everything? My desktop system has onboard HDMI audio. Since
it's connected to an HDMI monitor, the system would make the HDMI
audio the default device. Not useful since the monitor has no
speakers ...
