OK, some ideas

1) for several reasons, leave it as a module,  If this isn's crazy 
enough for you, some softrware actually goes looking for the module, and 
assumes no one in their right mind would compile in sound support (truth!)

2) if you have two PCs, like me, using a keyboard A/B swtich, the kind 
with 3 switched RCA jacks (you can buy such at Radio Shack cheaply) 
works particularly well for the Audigy, because you use the connection 
that was intended for your video can be instead used for the Audigy's 
digital port (it's the very bottom connection, the one furthest from the 
  plane created by the motherboard), so that lets you switch both analog 
audio *AND* digital audio with a single button-push.
