I've got an Abit BE6-II based system with a SoundBlaster PCI-128. This system is currently running 4.3-STABLE, but it has run everything from 4.0-RC through 4.3-STABLE with bi-weekly cvsups. Its only role is to play mp3s 24x7, so problems with the sound card would have been immediately noticed. -Douglas -----------------------------+----------------------------- Douglas R.
