<font face="Arial">Yes, I was wrong about the audio. I figured it out
last night. I was testing for audio using headphones on line level
(non amplified) outputs. That was dumb. But in my defense, the jacks
aren't label and my manual in still boxed up somewhere from the home
renovation project. It turns out that on the system with the 5 1/8"
jacks the jacks are [column one going down] Line In, Line Out, Mic In
[column two (not present on some models)] Rear Channels, Center &
Sub Channels, SPDIF Optical. The Line Out functions as basic stereo
output or Front channel output in a 5.1 setup. All jacks are stereo.
(3 stereo output jacks = 6 Channel/5.1 output) KnoppMyth detected this
as worked out of the box. The goof was my fault.<br>

So, Matt, do you have a PVR-500 on this thing? My one remaining issue
is that /dev/video1 doesn't seem to be working. Lots of</font><br>

? I'm wondering how it is going. I've got KnoppMyth working on mine,
but I have no sound. A few notes of this MoBo is you haven't ordered it
yet.
1. It does not have on board Video, so in your original post when you
mention on board video, I hope you meant from the PVR-350
2. The on board audio is 5.1 which is cool, but it lacks normal stereo
out. (I think. I can't figure out if my no sound issue is HW or SW.)
Please reply, I'd like to share notes with you.

I wasn't the original poster, but I'm a (happy) owner of one of those
boards, running Gentoo. It's my main backend/frontend box that sits
next to my TV.
Some details:
Audio: Using ALSA snd-intel8x0 module
# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CK8 ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK8
NVidia CK8 at 0xe3004000, irq 21
There is an analog audio output (actually, there's 6 channel output,
depending on how it's set up - the line in and mic plugs can be used for
output). I'm using the optical out to my amp - you need the S-Bracket
for that connector.
Network: Using forcedeth module
I use an nVidia AGP card for video out, with the nVidia binary drivers.
