I am not looking to disable the onboard sound, rather, I am looking to be able 
to toggle between the two. I am currently ok with onboard sound - my speakers 
on my LCD are working fine. I am unable however to listen to my headphones 
which are connected to my soundcard. I do see both options in KMix..

Not sure where to go from here. 

Thanks much for the help so far.
