Yeah, seems like a problem a lot of the Asus boards had. I decided not to wrestle with it and just get a sound card, I enjoy my gaming to much to mess around with it and this is a good card at a good sale price so why not! LOL

My next purchase... I'm looking at the Samsung 225B 22 inch wide screen Monitor. I found it at Cost Central for $317., new, factory sealed with free delivery! Hard to beat. I did email Newegg to see if they would match the price, haven't heard anything yet. There were about 15 legit online stores that had a better price than Newegg did. I hope they do something, I like dealing with them! Hell...I even won a Newegg Backpack! LOL

I'll talk with ya all soon! take care!

Hey, nice to hear that you are gonna get a new screen
Just make sure it has HDCP you always want to be ready for blue-ray and hd-dvd.

Im interested on getting the Sceptre x24 Naga Gamer which comes with HDMI so once I get my PS3 I can play it 1080p!!! xD!!! but this is gonna happen late march since its not released yet and Sceptre Support said its coming out late march. But I can wait

My money's on HD DVD. Sony has a bad record with getting people to adopt new formats.

I dont have preferences for neither, I just love the High Quality they provide

That sucks to hear about your sound.. all you really need to do is uninstall your drivers and put in the new card, and then install those drivers that came with it. Simple! Well, I'm gonna keep this tv an account that it was free, lol. Maybe when I graduate I'll treat myself to what's hot then. As for my temps, they are still reading 45*C. Later on, I'll lower to defualts and see if they drop to 35*C. Still cant wait to see some scores!!!

Yes is simple, but you know, most motherboard come with built-in sound and built-in connectors. The striker is an exception. Also have in mind, most motherboard can disable onboard sound so you will have no problems with your sound card. The striker is an exception, since you dont need to disable anything if you dont use the SupremeFX.

Scarlet, fix that temp problem. I hate to see that you using such a great cooler giving you bad results.

Please keep us posted.

I know I know.. it kills me to see it so high. Still, I have to wait a few weeks before I order the monsoon II.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

I got this on another string I started under Asus motherboards...

One thing I hate of the striker is that it has the front panel connectors in the supremefx GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Lol, I'm still happy with the HD on board audio. 8)

yeah but your front panel connectors still in the motherboard, whenever you need the front audio connectors you have them there. I need to have that dam cheap card in my pc everytime I want to use the front panel GR

Maybe it's your case?? I hooked up my speakers to the board and case to the board(inside), and they both work fine.

PS - And you thought this thread was dead!

Well Im trying to connect my front panel too hehe, kinda having problems.

Mcparty, I dont know if your motherboard BIOS has his but mines show

HD AUDIO [AUTO] (Can choose Auto or Disabled)
Front Panel Connector [AC97] (I just change it from HD to AC97 to make my front panel work but it doesnt look like is working)

what exactly did you do?

PS: This thread is not DEAD!!!!
