Hey i have a question... i have a shuttle but it doesnt have a analog audio in just digital... so can i put a cheapo pci sound card in and still use the onboard sound? am asking because on another thread... please give me some input

Yeah, you can always basically have as many sound cards as you can fit with any PC, as long as there isn't some type of freak conflict.

If you use another sound card would you lose the use of all the audio ports on the front and back of the shuttle?

You can have many soundcards as long as you set it all up properly, and you can switch between them in Windows applications iirc

I'd say theres no way of avoiding that.
