<div>DARN! And I thought that might be it. Didn't work. I went through alsa mixer and tried to get everything muted/unmuted/on/off to see if that might be it. Didn't do anything.</div>

<div><br>Ok, so I plugged into the motherboard's output, went out of Myth, into the settings and into Sound (settings) and selected the motherboard sound card instead of the SB Live card, plugged into the motherboard sound out and sound comes back perfectly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There's SOMETHING going on in the system with the SB Live card that is interfearing. I can use the onboard sound for a short while but I REALLY DO NOT want to have to do that, I WANT to use the SB card so I don't have to steal CPU cycles for audio decode.</div>
