fireberd many thanks again... but i finally give up . For some reason only the driver takes... and the interface remains the same. Or says that there's no audio device...
Looks like you are stuck with the basic Intel hardware/software configuration.
There may be some add on that will get you more, but if either the Gigabyte SoundBlaster MB or the ASRock enhancements don't work, I don't know what will.
