What's wrong with this motherboard?

From what I read in the support form that I linked above, it looks like all revision 3 boards are brown. It also seems that all revision 3 boards have C-media rather than chipset sound. It looks like that PCchips board has chipset sound so mine couldn't possibly be it since it does have C-media. (I can see the chip and windows detects it) It seems that everyone in that forum who has a revision 3 board describes it as brown and it seems common knowledge there that it has C-media sound. I'm not sure what would differentiate my version 3 from yours but it seems that so far, they've only gone up to 3.1 so I don't see how you could have a 3.5. Just because there's a sticker on the motherboard near a pci slot that says 3.5, I don't think that's the revision.
 
Just an update: I went to staples today and picked up and Muse...lt or li or something...just a box and card, no Cd, no manual, all very ghetto. Anyway, since I installed it the sound has been spot on perfect. Board's working great now.
