I tried to download the manual for your board but the Asus website is busy
(so it says). Try this link from a Google search of Asus A7V266-E.

http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v266-e/overview.htm

Download manual is listed on the left side.

Also, maybe someone with your motherboard can post and let you know how/if
the onboard sound can be disabled in BIOS.

On my MSI board with AMIBIOS disabling the onboard sound is done in
"Integrated Peripherals" - set onboard AC'97 to disable.
