No problem. "We" got two ;-)


Well, that wasn't /too/ bad... got a new utility out of the exercise, too,
thank you! I've now got upx installed so was able to upx -> unrar -> .pdf
here.

I thought I was the picky with compression sizes, but these chaps did a
very roundabout way to compress that file as much as possible :-O


The way I'm interpreting the documentation is the mainboard defaults to the
on-board AC'97 sound system *unless* you install software to activate the
installed-in-parallel on-board C-Media CM7838 sound chip... in essence the
added software 'switches on' and allows you to manage the chip.

Yes... but I didn't notice it was a second chip, I thought it was only
one.


There appears to be a healthy install base and active user community here
(primarily for Vista related bugs... hehe): <http://www.cmedia.com/forums/>

The company says it supports "open source drivers" but I didn't drill down to
confirm. They do, however, link to <http://www.alsa-project.org/>

At first glance, it wouldn't surprise me if it allowed full software
configuration vis a vis 2/4/6 channels and what inputs or outputs are
actually made available at the 'line in' and 'line out' jacks.

The thing is, I never explorer that side because I'm not prepared to lose
any of the inputs or oputputs, I use them all. I use the internal one for
the TV card, in mono (argh!). The tv card is stereo, but the internal
"phone" conector is mono. The external line-in and line-out goes to the
video player, mic goes to the mic for VoIp phone... I would like more
conectors, actually.
