Re: disabling onboard soundcard
I don't have a FireWire interface so I don't know for sure what is best for you. In any case where you have a sound card I would always recommend disabling the onboard sound or removing your consumer card if you have one.
If you are comfortable with changing BIOS settings you can try it and re-enable it later. The worst thing that would happen is you would have to reinstall the sound driver. If anything worse than that happened then there was already something wrong with your hardware or the BIOS (maybe needs an update). If you are uncomfortable you can call your PC manufacturer's tech support and have them walk you through it.
Disabling devices in the hardware manager sometimes works but not always.
