VIA hardware is not suitable for anything until we _know_ the truth about what is wrong. VIA is hiding something big. Simple fix: 0. get lawyer 1. start class-action lawsuit 2. do discovery 3. unseal court records 4. done -- you may drop the case if not settled already Well, something like that... not a lawyer, etc. If you have the time and money, go for it. Have fun. Creative Labs ought to toast VIA over blaming the sound card. :-)
