Tricky question. There is no problem with Windows XP -
this OS can run as many soundcards (including inbuilt) as
you can fit in. (and graphics cards, too) However, configuring
them is a different matter, and you can be stumped before
you've even seen the ball with some of the drivers & apps that
come with them. Allegedly.
