How do I disable onboard sound?

I have an ASUS P4Pe motherboard and want to disable the onboard audio so I
can add a SoundBlaster card. I didn't see anything in the bios about
disabling the onboard sound. Anyone tell me how to do this?

In the BIOS -

Advanced:I/O Devices:Onboard AC'97 Audio Controller [Disabled]

While Paul is right and it's good you got what you wanted,
you don't "have" to disable onboard sound to put in and use
a SoundBlaster card, many people have more than one sound
card and pick the one they want apps to use by default
(unless the app allows picking which one to use) as the
Primary in Sounds & Multimedia or whatever it's caled in
your respective version of (windows?).
