Ack, main cruncher out of game...

Dang, the sound chip on my Asus board stopped working. I got a blue screen in the middle of recording, machine restarted and my sound was gone. I've tried everything, including repair installation of Win XP SP1...
It won't recognize the sound (ALC650), and everytime some application tries to use sound, I get a blue screen.

Well, the board will be sent back. I just loose my HT P4 3,4Ghz for a week, AND THAT SUCKS!!!

I wonder why the "integrated" parts on mobos are not socketed? This way I could just pop out the sound codec and ship it to manufacturer? No hassle of taking the whole ting apart...

That sucks man! Probably not socketed because most of the people who buy the boards have no problem sending the whole thing back. They would not want to take it apart...

Have you tried doing a bios update to the board?

Nope, but it already had the latest bios...
