The Vocal POST feature is permanently wired to the Lineout connector
on the motherboard. It does not matter whether you have a separate
sound card or not - the error messages will still come out of
the motherboard Lineout connector.
Your +12V is getting close to the 5% regulation specified for an
ATX supply. I'm willing to be it would be out of spec if you
were to run the Prime95 torture test (mersenne.org). While I would
not panic yet, keep an eye on the supply. You can use Asus Probe to
monitor voltages while in Windows.
