Interestingly, in my machines, turning off
internal sound cards in the
BIOS makes no difference to Linux whatsoever - Linux still finds the
card and installs support for it.
Perhaps it depends on which integrated sound chip is there?
Some BIOSes used with certain VIA AC'97 controllers disable the on-board
device when another PCI sound card is found, even when the on-board
device is enabled in the setup. For this reason, recent Linux kernels
forcibly enable the on-board device regardless of the BIOS settings.
