Just to clarify. You uninstall the onboard audio first. Then, second, you install the sound card. Then you reboot. Then you install the soundcard software. Is that right? If done in that order, the pc should recognize the new hardware after the reboot. If that's not happening for you, it sounds to me like you might have a mobo problem.
Is there anything in the manual about having to change a jumper setting on the mobo to disable onboard?
