Default Soundblaster live better than p4p800 sound?

Is the sound that I would get from a soundblaster live card better than the
soundchip on my mb (p4p800)....I'd like to use the addon with the midi, mic
and headphone but like the sound coming from the onboard soundcard. John

I have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe motherboard and it has the same on board sound
as the P4P800. I didn't like the on board sound and installed a Sound
Blaster Live 5.1. The Sound Blaster Live is a 100 times better sound. I've
very satisfied.

would you be kind enough to tell me what steps I would take other that
looking in the bios to shut off the onboard sound? John


You don't even need to do that. On Auto, it automatically disables itself it
detects a sound card.

What you'll want to do though is uninstall the drivers for it.
