Kanotix (http://kanotix.com/) seems to be based on Debian. So, you might be able to disable the onboard sound by using /sbin/lsmod to see which sound modules the onboard sound is using, then adding those modules to the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file. For example, to disable the crappy onboard sound on one of the computers here (Debian Sarge), I've added the following to /etc/hotplug/blacklist: via82cxxx_audio snd_via82xx That causes the computer's PCI soundcard to be detected & used instead.
