Any ideas? well... you could go with a cs4237 based sound card.. or something similar... they actually provide much better quality than sb16 boards at a fraction of the price... I sell them for $24 + shipping... also OPTi boards are suppose to be good, but I haven't ever used 'em... since you are using -current, using Luigi's sound drivers and the PnP code won't be a problem... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking P.O.
