Well, I had nothing but problems with my onboard sound. Probably had to do with the company, Crystal, but anyway, it was funny though, when I was playing Starcraft, every time I'd click something while in the setup parts, I'd get this n ice static noise lol. GOt me so Irratated, so just went out adn bought an Aureal vortex. Fixed the probelm, but I am still having problems with that onboard crap, it still recognises it for some reason, that's even after moving a jumper over to Disable it. Sometimes when I restart my computer, it will go to Msdos and say some crap about this Crystal initialization utility, so I'll have to either just type in win to continue booting up, type in edit msdos.sys and then change the valu of I Think bootgui to 1 and then the problem doesn't occur for around 1 week, then it all starts over again lol. So, to cap that all up, I've had nothing but problems with it.
