Ran it, got the blue screen of death. Lost my mic even after rolling back. Now I'm lost...

Thats how I feel man... I find myself wondering what bugs I will get from the new driver... the current one appears to be working flawlessly.

I had to back you up on this one, J. That little number, while not nearly as beefy as the X-Fi in terms of A3d, and some other features, is a great audio solution. It processes the audio independently, which is usually the gripe with integrated audio. So this guy doesnt eat up your CPU cycles to render audio. Also, it sounds pretty nice. I have one, but I use my X-Fi because it's more powerful. But if you dont wanna fork out the dough for the X-Fi cards, one of these works great. Of course it only comes with the top-notch Asus boards if memory serves...
