Larry, I can't understand why you feel that adding a pci audio card to your system will void your warrantee. This is a very common thing to do. Disabling your on board audio from within your computers bios does not void any warrantee that I have heard of, nor does adding a pci card of any kind including audio. That is what the pci slots are there for. People do this all the time.

Subject: Re: sigmatel audio help sought Richard, the PC's sound chip is disabled now, as you suggested. However, as that was the only source for providing sound on the computer, I had to add a new card. And, since adding a PCI card would have voided my warranty, I chose to add a USB card. I chose one from Turtle Beach which is giving me no problems at present. Thanks for your input. Larry At 09:44 PM 3/23/2006, you wrote: >Larry, why would you have to remove the chip?
