I have onboard sound card and it is not working anymore but the os still can detect it. Now, I like to install a new PCI sound card. Could this be any problem?
You'd have to make sure the onboard sound card is disabled, either by a setting in the BIOS or by physical jumpers, but other than that, there shouldn't be much trouble. Just install the card and follow the appropriate sound setup procedure for your distribution.
