SPAnDAU: I have the same question. The P5A w\sound User's Manual shows three (3) jumpers used to disable the on-board sound. The actual board only has one (1)jumper. The on-board sound is totally unsatisfactory and I have installed a Creative Labs model CT4750 sound card on one of my P5A systems and cannot get it to work. If anyone knows a work-a-round, please post. (Have you also had problems with the +3.3V reading in the ASUS Probe showing a high reading?)
