Thanks, I'll fish around on Asus website.

Yes, onboard sound is disabled.

Hi all, I just got the SB Xtreme Audio today and for the love of me, it will not install. I have tried a ton of things. I have the Asus P5B on Windows XP SP2. I uninstalled my old sound card, removed it from the PCI slot, installed the new card (it is a PCI-E sound card). I start up Windows, it detects the "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver For High Definition Audio" and some other unknown device called "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus" (which I assume is the sound card). I have tried installing the drivers off of Creative's website, but as usual, their software is crap and says "No supported devices found". Yet, when I go to their autoupdate, it auto detects the sound card just fine. I can not use the drivers off the CD because of course that CD came damaged in shipment. I have already tried moving it to another PCI-E slot, to no avail. I have already tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers to no avail. My last option is to either find someone here who knows how to fix it, or format/reinstall Windows and start over. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Yeah, I already did everything on the computer side to fix the problem, sounds like a connection issue. I'll try a few other things, then I'll give the ISP a call. (I hate dealing with them, so try and fix it myself) Thanks

Hey all. I've been having a problem with my internet recently. It is an interesting thing relating to the speed. I'll be surfing websites, they'll load fast, all of a sudden, I'll click a link and it will just sit there loading. I'll check IRC, MSN and my downloads and they'll be at the regular speed, but the websites won't load. I end up having to wait 5-10 minutes, then hitting "Refresh" and then they load. Changed NICs, still happening. This is a cable modem, so I was curious if it's at all possible that the cable line going to the modem has a problem or if this is related to the operating system or not. I am using Windows XP SP2 with latest Internet Explorer. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Has this exceeded my "I don't mean to piss everyone off..." post from back in 2000? LOL.

I would say to just reinstall the damn thing, if that doesn't work, you may have lost some core files in windows that are needed.

Ah AlecStaar my old chap, thanks for your information.

I am thinking about moving towards water cooling for these hot summers and for overclocking purposes. Can anyone recommend to me a cheap, yet effective water solution. I was looking at Aquarius 2 by ThermalTake, but soon came to the conclusion that it sucks. I was also looking at SWIFTECH H20-8501P WATER COOLING KIT FOR S478, but haven't been able to find any reviews on it. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks

I've known you on this forum for years now...all I can say is "I'm sorry".

Please refer me, least you can do, after the "I don't mean to piss everyone off post" back from Oct 2000, haha.

I just finished saying that I slapped in the RealTek days to go to SEE IF IT WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS. In other words, I was having the problem with the 3com onboard and I put in the RealTek to test and see if the onboard NIC was the problem. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the RealTek NIC

The secondary PCI NIC is a RealTek, the onboard is a 3Com. I have the 3com one disabled right now, i just slapped in the RealTek one a couple of days ago to see if that was the problem, and it was. I've tried formatting and reinstalling windows, i've tried changing the settings, nothing is working, but i'll look in to it later on. Thanks for the help.
