Anything need to be unplugged for soundcard

Thinking of ordering a pci soundcard eventually just need to know something

I already know, you install the soundcard in the pci slot, disable onboard via bios, and install drivers and you're good to go but

Do I need to unplug those HD audio/ AC'97 plugs on the motherboard itself? I'm assuming they have no use once onboard audio is disabled, right?

Yes. You can unplug HD audio from motherboard then plug into sound card.

Alright, yeah the weird thing is only my front audio panel marks on my onboard audio as "headphones" using the rear audio port marks them as speakers (I could have sworn you could adjust them once they're plugged in and make the port change from speakers to headphones) but I couldn't find a way so my audio was much lower than it was suppose to be :P

And james what do you mean, I can just plug those little power pins into the soundcard? I don't see the point since the soundcard should have all the inputs that I need

How many pin are you talk about?

most newerpci-e x1 sound cards have the 9 pin hd/ac97 audio header

Do I need to plug into those though, or is it pointless?

Do you use it for anything (such as audio connections on the front of your case)? If so, yes. If you don't, then no.

It is always good idea to plug a audio connections into sound card even if don't use it or use it.

I never use the front of my case until now, because the rear panel ports apparently can't read headphones, while only the front ports can? The driver use to have it on my old mobo that when you plugged into any of the slots, you told it what you plugged in.. however now it just automatically sets them to speakers, and they're headphones.. so the sound was very low

Plugging into the front fixed it, but then I was like meh might as well get some quality headphones and a soundcard w/ amp

Anyway thanks for clarifying I doubt I'll need the FAP since headphones will work properly on the soundcard (hopefully haha)

Oh I doubt that.

Huh? Why would you say that?

If you're talk about onboard on rear panel that don't work. It might be your driver issue or motherboard have damages. Rear panel should be use by 2.1 speaker and front panel should by used by headphone. It is easily that way.
