That's too bad. I was looking at that board, but have heard too many similar horror stories.

Personally, I like Asus boards better and only because they usually include ADI/SoundMax onboard sound. I'm not fond on RealTek audio. But in this case, it looks like they use the same RealTek sound chip, so I couldn't tell you which I like better.
