Which sound driver set should I use, the NForce Audio drivers or the
CMedia drivers? Are there major diff's or advantages to one over the
other?

TIA

Chaintech seems to have a problem using the stuff built in to nforce
chipsets, like the sound. You have to use the cmedia driver because you
don't have nforce sound.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Well, I did try the nVidia Audio driver first, and it did work (or seemed
to). The environment stuff didn't seem to do anything tho, they all
sounded exactly the same. And the microphone was lousy/weak.

So I installed the CMedia (w/o first uninstalling the nVidia - dumb, I
know). It seems to work fine, tho not as "pretty" an interface. I did
uninstall nVida afterwards, as it didn't exisit in Device Manager at all,
yet the add/remove entry was still there (and all the files).

Thanks.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
