Two sound cards

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help. I have searched everywhere with no results.

I have a ASUS PQ5Pro MB and a Creative Blaster X-Fi soundcard + onboard sound. I would like to have sound from internet radio/broadcasts through Firefox (or ie) on the card, and the rest of the sounds from the mb on speakers.

The broadcast opens in a new window with a choice of realplayer or wmp:
Rugby League Live and then click on 'Continuous Call Team' (Sat & Sun after 12 noon Qld, Australia time).

Doing this will allow me to use a Whole House Transmitter and someone else to use the computer for games etc.

I have tried everything (and then some) to get this to work. Can it be done? Will it work with another sound card?

Thanks!
Gav

Hello gav,

Welcome to the forums.

Sorry, but I've never heard of running two sound cards at the same time. Maybe someone else has an idea.

Re: Two sound cards

Sorry mate, it's not possible. It's either the on-board or the pci card, not both

I've got the PRO as well and an Azuentech sound card. I've tried it and only one card works at a time (the pci overides the on-board). It also causes instability if you don't disable the onboard HD audio in the BIOS.
