    Recently, I will just be in the middle of a game, or sometimes just in Windoze when all my sound just cuts out. I have checked speakers etc so it must be the onboard sound card :(

    Anyone heard of this prob before?

    The onboard sound card is not that good imo - disable it and by a card.

    I have this mobo and I did have strange sound probs once... Make sure you've done the following,

    -Got the latest bios from www.epox.net
    -Got the latest 4in1's from www.viaharware.com
    -Downloaded the latest AC97 sound drivers (probably from the vis site too)
    -Reinstalled DirectX for good measure.

    Now check you don't have any hardware conflicts and have a play with the sound options in the bios.

    If it's still not working then hmmm...

    I just upgraded to a SB player 5.1 and the £25-£30 is wrth it!

    Cheers,
