Hi

The HD audio driver that comes with the graphics card cqan be installed alongside the onboard sound drivers That shouldn't present a problem.

As for the two cards the differenc ebetween them must be negligable. I really wouldn't expect there to be a problem but you might have to alter and difference in speeds etc to match each other.
