I had given up on a sound card but decided to try the SB Live one more time before relegating it to the back of the storage closet. I didn't try the middle PCI slot before because it is so close to the Radeon board which is the warmest running thing in my SAM. I just assumed that all the free PCI slots work the same but that's either not the case or I have a bad bottom PCI slot. The sound from the SB Live card is so much cleaner with crisper sound that I don't want to go back to the builtin sound. If not for this topic I might not have tried again. Thanks!

What version of UBoot do you have ?
The latest one is version 1.31d(Feb 15-2011 - 17:02:59).
I have ha a similar problems with older Uboot versions but with the last PCI slot.

I have version 1.31d installed. I haven't tried to use the SB Live in the bottom slot since discovering the alignment problem and bending the bracket to eliminate strain on the card & slot. When I get a chance I will try it again in the bottom slot.

xenic,

What do you have for a speaker system?

Mine is a Creative 5.1 analog/digital. Just perfect for in-house sound.
