I'm getting an Epox 8k7a+ and I have heard about all these problems with this VIA southbridges and Soundblaster 5.1 cards...... I was going to get a turtle beach, but that Staples deal for the Soundblaster MP3 5.1 was just to good of a deal to pass up...
Should I ebay the soundblaster(before I open it up) or save myself some trouble(hopefully) and try to use the Soundblaster with the epox???

I remember seeing somewhere that sound blaster has a news group for just such matters. Check it out.

EPoX has implemented a BIOS fix for the SBLive problem. I have an 8KTA3 with a SBLive and it works fine in WinME, Win2k, and WinXP. Be sure to use the latest 4-in-1s just to be sure. Anyway, you should be fine.
