Yes, I was wondering about that too - nothing here yet - Oh, well I'll just
fall down on my weeping knees when the time comes and see if that won't
trigger one bit of mercy.

The audigy can be made to work, it turns out. It's obscure, and it will have
to wait till I get back home to blog it. But I'll put something up then.
Meanwhile, you just have to find the right place where it has it muted when
it shouldn't be. It's one of the digital interfaces, and it makes no sense
since I'm using mine in analog mode.

WHAT THE ?
The Audigy card is obscure ?
Not all of us buy bottom of the range or top of the range... there was
a time when sound blaster was ALWAYS supported... you are obviously in
the <35 yo age group !

I would be happy if I just had sound since I bought the Audigy for its
SUPERIOR midi playback!
