Sound card help needed

Okay I got a built in sound card on my motherboard its gigabyte nforce 3
board plus i have a sound blaster audigy. I wanna hook the TV up to the
computer via the DVI port. Now I got that part done but I am curiuos. I got
the TV hooked up to the onboard sound and I am wondering if thier is a way
to use both sound cards at the sametime. Have the TV be the only one to
use the built in and the computer to use the audigy card. I couldnt hook
it to the audigy becasue I want the speakers hooked up to it as well still
and I got the TV tuner card hooked up in a port to. Any advice would be
appreciated.

Well, technically it is possible, since, e.g. Limux, can support two
independent soundcards. The issue is whether your OS can support that
and what you want to do with it.

Well using windows xp I figured out a way to have both sound cards working
at once. What I di was do what I was doing on the sound balster then I
decided to play wow on the big screen I first set it to the other sound card
under control panel under sound and audio devices. I select the one then
hit aply and okay and now I got both going at one time. I hear wow on the
big screen and my TV tuner and computer stuff on the normal computer
speakers.
