</div>Yes, this board doesn't have SPDIF. And not too many card slots either,<br>
I want to keep the one PCI slot remaining open for possible future<br>
external eSATA drives for more storage rather than get a PCI sound card.<br>
So I am sticking with the interal analog sound.<br>
<br>
And you know what, it sounds great (with the old kernel/ALSA driver)<br>
paired up with a set of Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers. My "real work"<br>
computer (actually computers, one XP and one Ubuntu with three monitors<br>
and a KVM switch!) has a set of 2.1 speakers hooked up to internal<br>
analog sound cards and you can hear web pages scroll up and down ;-).<br>
So I was very pleasantly surprised at how great my analog MythTV<br>
Intel-HDA/Logitech X-540 set up sounds.<br>
<br>
I basically do have the sound working with 8.04's new kernel/driver, at<br>
least as well as it is going to work. The new driver just isn't as<br>
good, so I don't want to stick with it.<br>
