Absolutely.
Can't tell how often I've taken something perfectly functional apart for no aparent reason, other than "I might be able to make this work a little better".
I have a similar hookup as Reece: FP connector goes to my X-fi (HD audio connector), but I use my onboard for my headset (connected at rear panel). My FP cable isn't shielded, so I get static noise when I connect anything to FP. Makes it pretty much useless.
My sound comes through the speakers through the card, while Skype is set to use the onboard. When I want to game with my headset, I change the default device in Windows to the onboard, and then everything comes in over the headset. A program can usually only use 1 audio device; key is to make sure the options are set correctly.
Gonna see if I can find the manual for that board and card,; maybe it's a special case. Let you know if I find anything.
