Just enable the onboard sound but disable all legacy sound devices. Are you using the newest drivers? 1.08 i think. I have the save MB as you. What bios revision are you using? I updated to the 2.5 bios with no problems. I've heard horror stories of the 2.5 giving a bad flash, so you might want to bring the board to a computer store to do it for you and if they screw up... they ow you a board. peace out.

The latest drivers are actually 120a. But if using winme and win 2000 you have to use the 108 drivers. via 108 drivers.

I have installed a msi k7t pro2a and enabled all sound things I could find in the bios, and it is now working great. And if you are using win98se, do not install the win98se driver, install the win98 drivers! (all drivers can be found under the zip file I linked, but it is kind of big (20 mb))
