Well I never used onboard sound before 😛
My first card was a SB16 ISA card. My computers before that never had sound... after hearing those old Apple IIGS with a add in card, I finally decided to put in sound. Stuck with add-in cards ever since.
 
The PCI lock obviously doesn't work too well on the BE7, I haven't been able to test it cause I can't get my geiger to work on the board. The ob sound on the board is actually very good--when it works, but I had to put a Live! card in above 150fsb...

It's not the ob sound that Abit needs to work on, it's the PCI freq settings...😛🙂
 
You think :Q

Then how does a add in card work above the 33 setting? If what you say is true... wouldnt add-in cards suffer the same problem?

LoL... Mikki, that signature of yours? I had that on both here and HWC when I first started visiting. I got rid of it for a different sig though and somebody asked to use it like I owned it when I replaced it with... one or the other of the following...

However when my recently uninstalled Wife 1.0 seen that second one, she had me delete it

. Thats when I just started putting on my heatware link. Should have just kept it on though...
Anyway was it you who asked?
 
lol!!! I'm using Wife 2.0 now...those are some funny sigs...and I got mine off Thugs, I know it's old but it's still funny...😀

As far as the problem, your guess is as good as mine. My problem with the manufacturers is that they make boards without a decent lock in the first place, and so all I was saying is that they should work on that first. Why does the Live! card work when the ob sound doesn't? Don't know bud, but I'm still blaming the lock....😛😉🙂
 
I won't run a PCI bus beyond 36 MHz. Most drives will do OK even at 39, but I've had a few that are flaky at 38ish or even lower.
 
its not really the PCI we are interested in ~ its the AGP overclock that we want.
of course the PCI clock comes along for the ride 🙁
hopefully that will change in future motherboards.
