It minimizes the risk of having problems due to conflicts and other instability. Some people can get away with not worrying about it while others have no choice but to completely disable their onboard audio (when they get a sound card).
well 2 cables so far so good no conflict even with onboard still on should i just keep it this way.. if there is no performance gain or anything i dont see why!>

I have read that many BC2 hard lockups are related to sound..I get those hard lockups, do you think it is because I have onboard drivers installed and turned on as well as my sound card drivers installed and it turned on?
There's a chance that disabling it in the BIOS (after uninstalling it as I described above) could speed up boot time both in the motherboard's Power-On Self Test and in Windows due to having one less piece of hardware on the board.

Maybe. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen people have general problems due to this.

Ahh I see. Works fine for me in Windows but I disabled in BIOS for Linux.
