I had problems running SH3 (sound breaking up) with the onboard sound (AC97 HD) so I purchased a PCIE X-Fi Xtreme audio card, although SH3 sound is ok now the sound is nothing special, also haven't been able to get the front panel audio plug to function properly and no separate mic/aux plugs, you can only have one or the other.

Support was non existant, the card came without XP drivers & had none at their website either, after a lot of complaints from people they finally decided to produce XP drivers!!

Wonder if I could have both sound devices enabled, any thoughts?
