Ive had my onboard + Audigy 2 ZS and now replaced that with a creative fatality Xtreme gamer card, all working flawlessly. Its upto the software you use to enable it though, for me i use voip (skype etc)alot and while gaming i prefer to have the speakers on and listen to the voices on my headset (so i dont annoy people). I set skype to use the headset which is connected to my onboard and the mic that is connected to my x-fi (better quality), then my main speakers via the x-fi are used for music+ css.
So yes, most of the times it works flawlessy and ive yet to have a problem!.
