AU8830.
Is it safe to plug/unplug jacks from old audio cards while powered-on or should the system be powered down first?

I think that is more of a question just how valuble stuff are.
I often hotplug those jacks and nothing notable bad has happend during the ~22 years I have owned different sound cards.
On the other hand if I had some unique sound card that was impossible to replace I would not hotplug anything.

I never had any issues when I accidentally yanked out my headphones in my SB Live
I stopped doing this some years ago after I accidentally fried a sound card. However there was a VCR and a SCART connecter involved as well, so it probably wasn't the audio jacks themselves that caused the damage.
