Sometimes you have more than one, even if you only intend to use one. e.g. The on-board sound is awful, so you put in a card. Unfortunately, you find you're unable to disable the on-board sound card, so you do your best to just ignore it. But some things will try to use the wrong sound card. Which is made even worse if you have an internal software modem, as that's another *sound* device. And then there's cards which emulate another card, though you can't use both modes at the same time, but appears as two sound cards. It's amazing how badly multi-media still sucks on the PC architecture, even after twenty odd years of it. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
