You may not be able to run the mobo audio capabilities as long as the 3rd party sound card is installed. Some mobos will allow it and some won't. Yes, you may have to go into the BIOS and enable it. Also, it is possible the sound card software may allow 'legacy' devices.
But it's probably easier and cheaper to just get a mic extension.
