Hi!

Now looking at it again... This code disables all ATI and NVIDIA sound
cards available in any Dell System (laptop or AIO) if system says that
SG is enabled, right?

Yes.


It means that also any external ATI or NVIDIA PCI card with audio device
connected to Thunderbolt (e.g. via PCI <--> TB bridge) is always
unconditionally disabled too?

I never thought of this case, thanks for bringing this up.
Do you have any suggestion to check if it connects to the system via Thunderbolt?
