Question
« on: June 22, 2015, 10:38:44 PM »
With my computer, I have the on board sound that I use for game sounds such as environment and vehicle sounds, while I use the front panel for vox and mic communications.

If I drop a new sound card into my computer, will that disable the front panel on my computer or can I still use it?

It depends on the card. Some will, some won't.

A lot of sound cards have a place to plug your front panel audio into.

I'm not sure yet, it's a build for someone else. At this point, I may just drop the card to save some money but include it in a list of parts to add in the future.

These are the two that I was looking at:

Asus Xonar DS

Asus Xonar DX

The first card is the one that I was leaning towards since I don't know if there is enough clearance around the graphics card to fit a card in the PCIe x1 slot.

Which MB you using ... Because most sound cards can also be used in other pci slots... I have my 2nd machines sound card in my 3rd PCI 16 slot so I would not brick my video cards...

that ASUS Xonar DS soundcard is a PCI slot version

the ASUS Xonar DX is PCIe X1 slot soundcard

, and as LawnDart posted, the Xonar DX PCIeX1 card will work in either a PCIeX1, PCIeX4 or PCIeX16 slot........

hope this helps

( I have the ASUS Xonar DS card, and love it, found it to be better compatible with my ASUS board verses my  Creative Labs X-fi Extreme (yadda yadda yadda ) pro Fatality card, that is just boxed up these days )

Carefully read the document for your motherboard and find out how the hardware interrupts are shared among the various expansion slots, SATA ports, and such. You really don't want the video, network, and sound subsystems to share interrupts.
