I've just had the above card with no I/O module...just the card only. The sound for me is awesome from my Creative P5800 speakers....the one fly in the ointment is - as it doesn't have a mic input - I've had to enable the onboard sound but I cant get working....I know that they can co-exist in the same machine as others on another forum I visit, have this set up... With the audigy in the PC, the onboard soundmax drivers wouldn't install, so I had to pull the card and the onboard got recognised and everything worked ok...recording through mic no probs... Before I re-installed the audigy, I checked windows sound settings and had recording set to the soundmax/onboard and the playback as being from the 'modem #0 line playback' as it was the only other option available, thinking that the audigy might pinch back the 'rights' after rebooting......it did....plus the recording, no problem I though,just put it back to the onboard....arrggh - no onboard available on the drop down box, it had disappeared. The soundmax icon is still in the systray, but if I click on it, nothing happens at all...no errors, nothing! My motherboard is the Asus k8v se deluxe....bit stuck now as what to try...any ideas? Thanks if you can help.
...........was maybe thinking of trying my old cheap n cheerful pci soundcard and seeing if I can get it set up just for recording, with the audigy for playback....anyone else had 2 pci s/cards in the same machine? Thx again
